With regard to your friend's care, he would have had a right to judicially challenge the forfeiture of his motor vehicle. Under the circumstances, if he has yet to be charged with the Dec 2010 DWI, might have also had an issue in which to challenge the forfeiture. If he did not judicially challenge the forfeiture within the time frame required, the state may have simply forfeited the motor vehicle by default. You present a somewhat complicated case. I would advise your friend to contact an attorney right away and provide that attorney with all the paper work relating to all of the offenses for an informed legal opinion to be rendered. Good Luck.
