1ST APP PD APPT PER WFW I know what the dui and vop mean however not sure what the second part means could somebody please explain this to me please?
The Public Defender's office was appointed at the First Appearance.
Looks like the crime which caused the violation of probation is a DUI and Driving While License Suspended/Revoked. Chances are that it was suspended or revoked because he was behind in support. He wasn't arrested for not paying support, he was arrested for driving DUI and without a valid Driver's License.
Mr. Umansky is correct. PD stands for Public Defender by the way. The PD is a lawyer appointed by the court to those that can't afford to hire their own attorney. 1st App is short for 1st Appearance, which is when you are first seen by a judge, usually within 24 hours of your arrest. If the family is interested in hiring private counsel to represent your brother, feel free to give me a call.
I agree with my colleagues answers. I think he should be aware that the court system may charge him $50.00 for this procedure, whether or not he had an opportunity to consult with a public defender. He needs to think about retaining his own attorney.
