Q: My boyfriend missed his very last call in to his PO due to sickness and they gave him another year etc what can be done?
He completed 2 years of his dui probation with clean ua's and no issues. He completed everything asked of him. His last day is 2-14-17 but he was suppose to call his PO on sunday 2-12-17 but he has been very sick and mixed up the dates so he missed his call in. They now have added a full year of probation including 6 ua's a month (he was doing only 2) and he has to take classes every month. This seems very unrealistic and very unfair, what can be done to fight this harsh punishment since he has been a model citizen?
A: You can contact a criminal law attorney about appealing the determination. Be aware appeals have a very low success rate (however your situation may be an exception).
