You are not required to have an attorney. However, it is important to note that the Circuit Court's staff cannot give you legal advice, recommend legal action, or interpret legal requirements. Further, they are not reponsible for the content of documents submitted to the Court or for ensuring that the parties comply with the filing requirements. You are encouraged to seek the advice of a licensed Virginia attorney for such matters. The following are several options if you need assistance in finding an attorney: You may contact the Virginia Attorney Referral Service at 1-800-552-7977. Ask family and friends for suggestions; Check your local telephone book's yellow pages; Check the various web sites. Check with your employer to determine if your company participates in a prepaid legal services plan. Prepaid legal services plans are similar to health insurance plans that are based on coverage under a policy on which the employer and/or employee pays a monthly premium.
