Can you amend a lawsuit filed but not yet served in Virginia

Yes, you can amend a Complaint that has been filed, but you need leave of court.  This requires filing a motion with the court and submitting a proposed order that allows you amend your pleading. This answer is given in accordance with the laws of Virginia and may not be applicable in any other state.  It should not be construed as legal advice, as that would require a more thorough analysis of all of the facts involved in a specific case.  If you need further information or assistance, please feel free to contact my office for a consultation. Case results depend upon a variety of factors unique to each case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any future case.
