I was convicted of a criminal damage to property and commercial burglary

Question: i was convicted of a criminal damage to property and commercial burglary. i was sentenced to five years jail with five years probation afterwards. i was released after a year & 1/2 and have been on parole for the last 3 years. i am now going to terminate the parole sentence in a couple of months and start the probation part. their are special conditions of the probation--go to an impatient treatment center for drug abuse and intense probation for six months--which translates to basically house arrest. these stipulations were put in place thinking that i would serve the whole five years and start out under these circumstances, however now I am a full time engineering student (with a 4.0) and work full time! how can i get back in front of the judge to amend, change, alter the sentence in GA.

Answer: You hire an attorney, and the attorney files a motion, requesting that the terms of the probation be modified.

    I’m glad that you were able to get back to your life after your conviction. BTW, if you want to get rid of your criminal records, you can get a Record Suspension. This is a kind of pardon wherein you can seal your entire criminal record. So, you don’t have to worry about any of your charges or conviction because it will be removed or kept separated from any active criminal files.

About Me

I hung a shingle in February 2000, because I saw that individuals charged with criminal offenses were being underserved by the attorneys practicing criminal law. Since February 2000, I have represented more than two thousand criminal clients. I only practice criminal law, but I do everything from violations of probation to Supreme Court appeals. There are few attorneys under the age of sixty that have my level of experience. I have tried more than two hundred major felony jury trials. I have tried more than fifty misdemeanor jury trials. In Philadelphia as a prosecutor, I tried more than two thousand bench trials. I have conducted more than three thousand preliminary hearings and bond hearings. Yet, I still have the energy at forty-five to serve my current clients. There is nothing that will occur in a courtroom that I have not experienced before. When you are looking for an attorney, experience is everything.
