A: You will be on probation for 2 years total, not four where you serve two years probation in one county then begin two years probation on the other. You must, however, make separate payments to each respective court. Talk with your lawyer.

A: You can get in trouble for doing LESS than they expect but nobody should ding you for doing MORE than they expect. Therefore, until you get a definite answer otherwise, assume that only the time under supervision runs concurrently and that the fees and classes are separate and distinct obligations you must meet.

Your criminal defense attorney should be able to either answer this question or at least point you toward the person who can answer this question. If you can't reach your attorney over the holidays, try contacting the probation department in each county and talking to your supervision officer. Ask if you will be reporting to both counties separately or if one has primary supervision. Any attempt to revoke your probation for noncompliance will likely start with your supervision officer so start with the idea that you need to keep that person happy.
