Okay....I think you need to drop the pressing charges line...don't mention that to the attorney anymore.

Do you know this Attorney ie family/friend referal? or was it just someone you found on your own with no prior dealings before?

You need to tell them you need representation and a legal contract that is removing you from a co-signed loan between yourself and ex with a reasonable timetable and that the car will not be driven anymore until the matter is resolved. Don't worry about all the details and over loading the attorney, just get the straight points and facts across. You can then make this a civil case if they sign and break the contract or pass the timetable dates.

What you can bring to the table...
1.)you have a company (Scrappy's) that will take the car and hold it until it is all dealt with
2.)receipts of the downpayment you made, and first few payments
3.)dates/times you have tried to make contact with ex with no action

have everything done at the attorney's office, ie meetings and contract signing.
