Should I have a co-signer court ordered to refinance the vehicle?

I have recently (June 2017) signed a joint application on a vehicle to help a friend out who had no credit. I am the primary on both the loan and the vehicle. However, we have since had a falling out involving violence and me having to call the police. Needless to say, I haven't even been granted to see that vehicle, let alone drive it. I have asked her to refinance it, to which she agreed, but then later retracted her agreement and basically told me "Too bad". I no longer wish to have this vehicle on my credit, since I have nothing to do with it and am looking to finance my own vehicle. I have briefly spoken with a local attorney who informed me that I can take said friend to general sessions without an attorney, but I am unsure how to go about that or if it is even in my best interest. Please help me figure out what I can do.
