He would like to ask for court supervision but we are not sure if he should pay the fine and plead guilty before appearing in court or should he pay the fine on the day he appears in court and asks for court supervision?

If you violate your Probation in any way, the State will file a Petition to Revoke Probation. If the PTR is granted, you will be resentenced. You need to contact your attorney right away and tell them about the potential PTR and your violation. The sooner you do this, the better.

I got a ticket for being on my phone and for having an expired license plate in February. I paid both and fixed the license plate. I got another ticket a few weeks ago for not seeing a car on a free right. I just want to know if I'm going to lose my driver's license or not.
