Q: Where can I get help to recover stolen property
Person of trust took title to my vehicle forged my name. He then had cops come to arrest me for stealing 'His" vehicle it was give it up or go to jail and they would take it anyway. Cops would NOT listen to what I said at all. Criminal charges are pending against him at Pueblo DA.
A: If you plan to hire a private criminal defense attorney mention the title problem -- your attorney should be able to handle both the criminal defense and clearing the fraud from the car title. If you plan on using a public defender (which is fine), the PD will only be able to help you is not far as it relates to your criminal defense. In other words, you will need to file a complaint with the county where the car was registered.
