I'm not sure what I was charged with. How do I find out?
The summons states the charge. If it is unclear, the official case-information system and the clerk's office for your court are the reliable sources.
Don't guess about the charge. The summons is the primary document, and Virginia's official online case information can confirm the case and hearing details.
If the summons is still unclear to you, contact the clerk's office for the court listed on it, or speak with an attorney about your particular case.
