Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

My daughter was one of three people charges for theft by taking in a case 3 years ago. They scrapped a rear end from a 1956 Cheverolet that belonged to a neighbor. Two of the three have had settlement to their cases. My daughter who is 24, has been to court three different times and was under the impression that the case was thrown out. She has never had any legal representation because two of the three charged were apparently assigned the same attorney. She was then assigned to another attorney and after never being able to contact him, she ended up going back for a Pre-Trial Intervention appointment at the court. Before she went, however, I got her to get a print out on her criminal background to see what showed up. On the background it showed that the charges were "misdermeanor" instead of felony charges and it showed the case was "dead docketed". They explained to her at the PTI that the misdermeanor and the dead docket were both missprints on her background check. They said that she needed legal representation and they therefore have contacted another attorney that we are waiting to hear back from. Oh, and the neighbor presented a price for the rearend of $2600.00, which he supposedly got from a local junk yard and even the judge laughed at that price in court. My daughter needs help, what do we do???
