You should appeal. In doing so, it is important you retain a competent attorney experienced in appealing this type of case. Appellate practice is very technical and many trial attorneys do not practice appellate law. Pro se appellants very rarely win because of the degree of knowledge, skill,... View More

In the context of incarceration in Cook County Jail and mold exposure, you could potentially have grounds for a lawsuit. However, the viability of such a claim would depend on many factors, including the extent of your exposure and any health effects you've experienced as a result.
They can't find any record or incident report for my case at all. No officer sworn report either.
Can I get my fine money back and reimbursed for my vehicle they auctioned off as well?

You pled guilty and paid the fines, so there is no want of prosecution. The state has fully prosecuted the case to a guilty plea and collected its fine. I am not seeing this as a viable course of action. If being ability to produce the documents is creating some other sort of hardship, you might... View More

You should have called the police. There was no reason for you to confront your neighbor. Nobody believes that you were polite at 2:00 AM. That said, your neighbor cannot commit a battery on you (choke you). If you were injured AND the neighbor was convicted, you MAY be able to recover for your... View More
