What is the name of your state? VA

Let me start with the story real quick. I got into a fight with a guy at an apartment, his girlfriend was standing next to him trying to break up the fight - took place in Oct. of 2002. I was arrested for Disorderly Conduct but later found out that his girlfriend filed Assault and Battery charges against me - although I never was even near her nor layed did I lay a finger on her. All said and done, the DC was dropped in order for a no contest plea to the A&B (I had an attorney). Appealed the A&B to circuit court and the girl ended up not showing up to the appeal - so the case was dismissed.

Questions:
1. Can I sue the girl for my attorney's fees?
2. If #1 is yes, could the guy I fought find out that I'm suing his girlfriend and try to press assault charges against me?
3. Could the girl try to go back and "re-activate" the dismissed case?
4. Are there any unforseen circumstances I may encounter if I decide to sue?

Thanks A Bunch!!
