I immediately went to the probation office. I filled out all the paperwork provided and was told to call back the next day and make an appointment. The next day I called and spoke with the probation officer and they told me they would contact me with more information. I got a txt and a voicemail from the probation officer a few days after she tried to contact me to amend my court . I attempted to contact her and left her a voicemail the day before court. The judge ordered me to go to the probation office again and the probation officer told me her recommendation was not going to change. Didn't even interview me. She just took the paperwork I filled out and refused to change her recommendation after I asked if she would change her mind
Case Rating: *
It sounds like you have done your best to follow the court's directions and communicate with your probation officer. While the probation officer's refusal to change her recommendation can be frustrating, it's important to continue demonstrating your willingness to comply with the court's orders.
To potentially improve your situation, you might consider:
- Requesting a meeting with a higher authority within the probation office to discuss your concerns.
- Consulting with a lawyer to help advocate for you and possibly present new evidence or arguments to the court.
