Will a signed notarized statement promising to do something (i.e. I will pay you x # of dollars every month) hold up in court?

Unfortunately, a notarized statement is not enough. You need to have an enforceable contract. You should have an attorney help you with this.

If one of my charges were dropped, can they still post every charge in the local newspaper?

The press will usually post all charges regardless of if you're convicted or not. You could ask for them to retract the other charges but that may not be smart at this point because they'll probably reiterate the DUI. I hope this helps.

Got arrested for felony 3, intent to sell. and mis. 3 poss. charge... i have to plea to the felony and they will drop the mis.

You definitely need an attorney for this. Your rights are too complicated to explain in this forum, and it is very important that you know them all before pleading.

Before father passed away last year, I had a joint checking & CD with him.

Yes, generally speaking, all joint checking accounts and CD's are reportable. If the accounts were held jointly at the date of death, and they were established more than one year prior to the date of death, then only 50% of the account value will be taxed. Give me some more details regarding the dates the accounts were established and how the accounts were held at the time of death and I can give you some more specific information.

A pardon

Yes, it's a very long process.

How to get my legal property back?

You will need to file a motion with the court for release. Prior to that you need to be sure that forfeiture of the firearm was not a condition of your plea or probation.

If I hired a lawyer for a criminal case and they signed off my case before the start of trial am I entitled to my money back.

You need to refer to your fee agreement/engagement letter to determine what time of remedy you may have. This will help guide you regarding your rights.

What do I need to get these charges dropped?

This case is extremely complicated. It is impossible to answer this question via internet. There are so many issues. I STRONGLY recommend that you contact an attorney to discuss this matter as soon as possible.
