One must know all the relevant facts and circumstances to even venture a guess at answering these questions. It would probably be one trial for all three charges.

This is not just a basic legal question. We cannot answer these questions without knowing all relevant facts and circumstances, except that it will probably be one trial.

The case from 2008 was either completed already or dismissed for lack of prosecution. Cases don't stay around forever. You can't wait 7 years to file a response in a case and expect it to be processed like it's no big deal.

Perhaps. Did he perfect a lien on the vehicle? If so, then probably not. It might be best to go consult with a local attorney.

Generally speaking, witnesses (including parties) can be called to testify, examined and cross-examined. Be well.

You gave no facts at all. We have to know the facts, but usually a lawyer should present counter offers. If they want 40 elephants, it would not be a valid counter offer to offer 3 giraffes. Yes, a lawyer should relay all reasonable counter offers.

This requires research for nearly any attorney, unless the attorney already knows the answer. You can look up the statute yourself, probably right here on Justia.

This has happened already, hasn't it? The question should be what can you do, and the answer to that is probably to threaten a civil suit for replevin, conversion, and civil theft.

You have not given enough information here for an answer. You have not even said what kind of case it is. I hope you have an answer by now.
