Maybe. How long has it been since all this happened? Did you file a tort claim notice against the city withing the 180 days required by law? Did you receive the letters, communications and pleadings from the IMPD forfeiture office and the lawyers seeking to have your vehicle forfeited and did you respond in a timely manner and appear in court when summoned? What exactly do you mean by "pending to be dismissed?" You should meet with a lawyer who can review your matter and see exactly how you got into this situation.
