How to fix probation problems

To remove a warrant YOU MUST APPEAR in the court that issued the warrant. Often I have represented people in your position and essentially get the preliminary work done up front so that the client can hopefully just appear once for the disposition. If you appear unrepresented, the court may hold you on bail. Typically, if you show up with an attorney it indicates to the court that you are serious about taking care of the matter (who would hire an attorney and then run away). As far as the actual disposition, I would have to investigate the situation further for an actual expectation. However, our goal would be to get you off with simply paying restitution. I have had this outcome many times. That is no guarantee of your results, but it is not atypical for me to achieve this result. If you would like to discuss this further feel free to call me.

Appear in court to remove the warrant. Bring the entire restitution amount with you. Bring evidence that supports your claim that you have not been in any trouble since 2001. Be ready to explain why you were in default all those years. Bring other evidence that shows why you are not a bad person, i.e. letters from employers, family pictures, proof of employment, college or high school degrees, evidence of volunteer work, etc... Even with all this, there is still a chance a judge could order you held either pending a final probation hearing or as disposition to any violations that are found. Best of luck.
