Who is eligible for a Public Defender? If you cannot afford to hire an attorney for your criminal case, and there is the possibility of a jail sentence, you may qualify for a public defender. Qualification is based on your income, your family size, and any debts you may owe.

If you lose or you allow a judgment to be entered (i.e. by conceding or not showing up), the creditor can attempt to collect. Since a judgment is valid for at least 10 years (can be valid up to 40 years in Virginia), creditors may wait to collect. However, some creditors will immediately start using their rights.

Public defenders are paid a salary from the general budget of Virginia. Court-appointed attorneys are paid by the court, in the amount assessed to their clients, but the court pays them regardless of whether the client is convicted (or whether the client pays the fee).

Absent leave of court, if a brief in support of a motion is five or fewer pages in length, the required notice and the brief shall be filed and served at least 14 days before the hearing and any brief in opposition to the motion shall be filed and served at least seven days before the hearing.

Under the new Virginia law that became effective January 1, 2022, judgments entered in a Virginia circuit court after July 1, 2021, have a 10-year limitations period and may only be extended up to two additional 10-year periods, for a maximum limitations period of 30 years.
