Avoid the Typical Result in a Georgia VOP Case

Typically, after the Georgia probation officer makes an allegation of violation of probation, the judge will sign a warrant for your arrest. The arrest warrant for a violation of probation (VOP) usually has a "no bond" provision, meaning that unless you retain an attorney to resolve your case quickly or obtain a bond, you may be sitting in jail for weeks or months until your probation violation case is heard in court and/or resolved.

As a result, it is common for people who believe they will be arrested for violation of probation to stop reporting to their probation officer. However, failing to report to your probation only makes the matter worse, insofar as the probation officer has the right to add additional violations (e.g. failing to report to probation, failing to keep probation officer informed of your current address, failing to pay fines/fees, etc.).  If the judge knows that you failed to report, the judge may be less inclined to give you another chance at successfully completing your probation when you are eventually picked up on the VOP warrant and brought before the judge.

If you believe that your probation officer may allege that you violated probation, you should contact an experienced attorney for advice.  Lawrence Lewis has successfully represented people on violation of probation cases in Gwinnett County, and the surrounding counties, including Fulton County, Dekalb County, Cobb County, Rockdale County and Hall County.

Question: Does or can a warrant go away...probation revocation that's two years old?

Answer: Yes, it will go away as soon as you are arrested on it. You agreed to probation (instead of jail), you failed to fulfill your obligations, and now you want a pass on the probation violation. You are going to be arrested on the probation violation. After you are arrested (because you did not turn yourself in) the judge is going to light you up.
