Probation Violation Hearing Guidance

Summary

A probation violation hearing is scheduled to address alleged violations, not new charges. If indigent, you may qualify for a public defender. Court-appointed lawyers are familiar with local judges and procedures, which can be beneficial. Consider requesting a public defender at your hearing. If you have concerns about local legal dynamics, a court-appointed lawyer might be advantageous. For complex cases involving mental health or prosecutorial conduct, consulting with a local attorney could be helpful.

I got arrested from a warrant for a probation violation I just now got something in the mail and it says that on * the order granny petition to evoke probation and my initial hearing is on the 12th of November at *:* a.m. so is that another charge or is that just what they do whenever you get arrested on a warrant for probation
It sounds like the hearing on November 12th is related to your probation violation, not a new charge. Here's what typically happens:
- A petition to revoke probation is filed if there are alleged violations.
- An initial hearing is scheduled to address the allegations.
- The court decides whether to revoke or modify your probation terms.
Do you need information on legal representation options?
I got arrested on September 19th on a warrant for probation violation I serve 15 days and I bonded out I got a notice from the court in the mail and it says order granny petition to revoke probation and it says defendant as violated the terms of munition So is this just getting to me from when I got arrested or is this a new charge
It seems like the court notice is related to your previous arrest for a probation violation. The petition to revoke probation typically addresses the alleged violations rather than introducing a new charge. Would you like information about legal representation options for your upcoming hearing?
Yes it has a name Jesse Kyle Sanchez on my papers as attorney but that's not my attorney I don't have one and I'm what they call indigent I guess
It sounds like you might qualify for a public defender since you mentioned being indigent. Here’s what you can do:
- Contact the court handling your case to inform them you don’t have legal representation and request a public defender.
- Ensure you attend your hearing on November 12th to discuss your situation with the judge.
