Q: Can a civil restitution lien for incarnation cost for a county jail sentence be modified
In 2010 i was sentence to 8months in the country jail for a misdemeanor dwlsr and charged a civil restitution lein 4 monthts later but i was only in the facility for roughly 42 days before being transferred to state prison. Can this $12,000 civil restitution lein be modified to reflect the time I was actually at the facility since there is no loss pasted the 42 days? I am trying to resolve this to get my rights reinstated
A: You can either send a request to the court yourself or retain a lawyer to do so...you should only be charged for the days in the county jail facility...P.S. call a lawyer to avoid the personal and painful experience.,.
