Contact an attorney to review the facts of both cases.

If he picked up a new case while on Probation chances are he will get some jail time for the case for which he was first placed on probation. Furthermore he may face mandatory prison time base on his score sheet.

This matter requires a consultation and full review of the case. The judge will look to the facts of his case and the reasons for the violation.

Consult with an attorney.

Not enough info. to provide a legal opinion. Jail time may not be ordered...depends on the nature of the violation. It is advantageous that he had no priors...hopefully, no prior VOP also. If my office can be of any assistance, please givve us a call. Tom R.
