Probation Attorney Lawrenceville

Question: My fiance has 2 more years left out of a 5 years probation sentence. Recently we have moved which means he had to get a new probation officer who stops by at least twice a month to see him. He has just got a job after being out of work for 3 years and notified his probation officer as well as his work schedule which is 12hr work shifts sunday-saturday. His probation officer has seen him twice within the past few weeks, but recently he was working the last time probation stopped by, because of this he has been placed on intensive watch with a curfew of 9:30pm is this fair? is it legal?

Answered: Fair? Was there a victim related to the crime that your husband committed for which he received five years on probation? Ask him/her about fair. Is it legal? Yes, probation determines if the situation calls for a curfew. If you need more time, you petition the court to extend or eliminate the curfew.

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.
