Weekends preferably but what would I be looking at for amount of incarceration? Ty so much for your time and help!
A:
The potential consequences for a probation violation can vary based on several factors, including the nature of the violation, your criminal history, and the specific terms of your probation. Since you're dealing with a felony DWI and probation violation in New York, it's important to involve an attorney as soon as possible.
If you are considering requesting a modification of your probation to include incarceration, your attorney can advise you on the potential outcomes. Judges have discretion in such matters, and they may consider factors such as the severity of the violation, your compliance history, and any mitigating circumstances.
