A: Since the law is not retroactive, hire an attorney to bring up all of the positive factors at the inmate’s next parole hearing. It is too late to do a Motion to Reconsider under Virginia Law.

You can file an appeal to The Virginia Court of Appeals by noting an appeal within 30 days of the sentencing order being entered.
