A: What is your question? You will need to hire an attorney just to look at each charge/conviction in each County. Then determine whatever Sentence, Fine or Costs is still outstanding. You will need to contact the Department of Safety yourself and ask what has to be done, paid, whatever, to get the TNDL reinstated. Expect to spend alot of money, and stay away from illegal activities.
A:
It appears that your situation involves a complex mix of legal issues, including probation, new charges, and the impact on your driver's license and financial obligations. If your court records show that your probation was terminated before these new charges were brought against you, and there's a discrepancy in how your cases have been documented or handled, it's crucial to address these errors as they have significant consequences for you.
The first step would be to consult with a legal professional who specializes in criminal law within Tennessee. They can review your court documents, identify any discrepancies or errors, and advise you on the best course of action. This might include filing a motion to correct the record, appealing the decision, or other legal remedies that could address the alleged probation violation and its aftermath, including the financial burden imposed on you.
Given the complexity of your situation, especially with the clerks not providing the assistance you need, having an attorney represent your interests is vital. They can communicate with the court on your behalf, seek to rectify any mistakes in your records, and work towards resolving the issues related to your driver's license and the fines you're facing. It's important to act promptly to address these issues, as delays can complicate your case further.
