Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: Probation Check In Appointment

Whether a probation "check in" appointment is usual depends on the category of your probation, i.e. formal or informal, and your county of residence. You might call the probation department and ask for the person assigned to conduct the "check in". Do not discuss your case until you determine the purpose of the check in! It is perfectly okay to ask if you are under suspicion of violating your probation. If you cannot get straight answers from the probation worker, contact a criminal defense lawyer and explain your situation. If the probation worker says you are under suspicion of violating, contact a lawyer.

Re: Probation Check In Appointment

Thank you for your posting.

You stated you were placed on summary probation, which typically means you do not have to check in with anyone. I would echo the comments of Mr. Troy, and state that you can call or have an attorney call to find out more before you go in to answer questions. It may be that they want to see if and how you can pay restitution, since there have been problems. The officer that interviews you will make a determination as to whether or not you will be violated on probation.

I hope that this answers your question, at least partially, but if you need more information, have other questions, or feel that you need legal representation, please feel free to contact me directly via email at [email protected]. I�m happy to help in any way that I can.
