Legal Question in Legal Malpractice in Illinois
I was charged with a theft in dupage county IL. I told police everything I knew and they wrote a phoney report which twisted my words saying I admitted to the theft, which I have a witness that was in the interveiw with me. Once I learned of the warrant I turned myself in posted bond and went to court for 1 year. The case was thrown out due to them not having a case or a witness. I never comitted this crime and am still paying for it even after the case was thrown out. I was denied a job last week because I have a theft on my background in dupage county. Can I sue over the crap the court pulled or can the goverment do whatever they want without any problems.
