Any violation of probation can result in the court sentencing him to jail for the time that he has remaining on his probation. The probation officer can also ask the court or recommend to the court that he gets a pass and can continue on probation. Whatever decision made is up to his probation... View More 
This investigator questioned me about an accusation of a crime. I have people and even security video to prove that it was false information. He told me he didn't care he wasn't going to talk to my witnesses and showed up at my apartment the next morning with a warrant based on his... View More

If a police officer has enough probable cause to get a warrant signed by a Judge then he can move forward. It is not up to the police officer to determine guilt or innocence. That part is up to the Prosecutor and the court. Take it from a former police officer, in this instance, you have no... View More
Put the vop on him what's the outcome should we get lawyer or who should we talk to
answered on Feb 14, 2023
The answer is always to seek the assistance of a lawyer. For violating his probation, the Judge can sentence him to whatever the remaining time was left on his sentence for the charge he was on probation for. Whenever, you get arrested for anything, and you are on probation, that arrest will... View More
The original charges were filed by the State. Then the victim had the bond violated. Can the violation charges be dropped by the victim or not?
answered on Nov 9, 2022
If this was a situation where you were to have no contact with the victim as a condition of bond and you contacted the victim, now your bond is violated or revoked. The victim cannot simply drop charges in most cases. Once you are arrested, it is the State vs you, not the victim.
My lawyer did absolutely nothing and his excuse was always "if we have time" or "if the State cooperates" He never followed through with anything he said he was going to do to help me.

If you have already been sentenced then you have a limited time to file a motion to withdraw your guilty plea. If you feel that your plea was not knowingly and voluntarily given or your attorney was ineffective then you may be able to file a habeas. You definitely should consult with an attorney... View More

What is your question? You may have an outstanding warrant, which means you will need to turn yourself in to be arrested and fingerprinted.
answered on May 5, 2021
Sentencing depends on various factors. I would advise you to retain an attorney to make sure you receive the most favorable results.
Will they make this a felony? Will I go to prison? Can I qualify for pretrial diversion? I already have an attorney. The total value was 28 dollars. I just need advice
answered on Jan 25, 2021
If you already have an attorney then you need to reach out to him/her and ask these questions.
Also if out on bond can I request if charged in two different cities on poss of firearm by convicted felon be run concurrently together for one plea agreement??last question is can a officer pull you over by stating someone called but not list it in the report??
answered on Jan 7, 2021
This is a question you should ask your attorney. Plea deals must be entered into voluntarily and with the understanding of all the charges and consequences. Some cases can run concurrently but it depends. Once again, something that you should consult your attorney about. Yes, officers can pull... View More
He missed his probation and they got a warrant for his arrest
answered on Dec 17, 2019
He can stay in jail until there is a probation revocation hearing in front of a judge. At that time the judge will determine if the person can continue on probation or if his probation will be revoked and he is sent to prison on his original charges. Always best to hire an attorney for the best... View More

More information is needed to adequately answer this question. However, Fulton County has grand jury hearings more than once a week so it could be that the case was set to appear on the grand jury calendar for one day and it was actually heard or reset for another day. Cases can also be direct... View More
Change in charge from first to second one above
answered on Dec 17, 2019
Not sure about the second part of your question. Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon means that the person was previously convicted in court for a felony offense and he was found to be in possession of a gun as a new offense. Possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime (if... View More

He thinks if he waits till prob period runs out he will be free and clear.
answered on Nov 14, 2019
Eventually the warrants will catch up with him and he will have to go before a judge. It probably isn't a great idea to continue to avoid the situation.

Not quite sure what you are asking. Possession of a stolen vehicle is a felony. Less than 2000 is the estimated value of the vehicle stolen. The vehicle was stolen from Georgia and found or recovered in SC.
