Can I cut my probation time if I contact a lawyer?

Answered by attorney Joseph A Katz (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Joseph A. Katz Attorney at Law PLC
Yes, you can terminate probation early, via a Motion pursuant to Penal Code sections 1203.3 and 1203.4, and yes, you would stand a better chance of success if you hire an attorney.

What can happen if I don't turn myself into jail after court order?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney George Martin Derieg (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Derieg Law Firm
If a judge sentenced you to jail and did not place you in custody at your sentencing, I am almost positive you agreed to a Cruz waiver. The significance of a Cruz waiver protects the plea agreement that was made between your attorney and the district attorney. If the judge goes outside of this agreement, you can withdraw your guilty or no contest plea. However, if you do not show up to either your sentencing or turn yourself in on time, the judge theoretically can go back and sentence you to the maximum. Now, if you are on probation for a dui, and you are being re-sentenced because of a Cruz violation, you could be sentenced to the maximum of your probation case, and the maximum of your current case.

Can I be pulled over for no reason?

Gregory Casale
Answered by attorney Gregory Casale (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Gregory Casale, Attorney at Law
Police can NOT pull you over for no reason at all. They must believe they have probable cause for the stop. Chances are you were issued a citation or charged with something that indicates why you were originally stopped. If no one produced any reason for the stop, then a motion to suppress should be brought to disqualify any illegal substances found in the car or any crimes charged after the illegal stop. Speak to a Criminal Defense attorney.
