Start by consulting directly with a lawyer licensed in VA (use the search tools at the top of the .com page to narrow the search scope) and determine whether VA will allow you to have a lawyer enter an appearance in absentia through the lawyer. Otherwise, your choices appear to be to go to VA or wait for NJ to suspend your license after VA issues a warrant for non-appearance. Good luck.
