If you are not licensed to practice law in the Common Wealth of Virginia - and its patently clear that you are not - you are guilty of committing a crime! *

OP....as above , you are on wrong side of law to be assisting in legal matters .

There are several on line articles which address the VA specific points ...the other person in your " we" is free to looks up and use same as a guide .
