I could assist you with your probation violation but I would need additional information to determine if you qualify for prop 36. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss this matter in more detail. (310) 277-1707

Re: Violation of Probation

It's impossible for me to advise you without knowing what you were convicted for (Penal Code Violation) and of (Felony or Misdemeanor). You should resubmit your question, and provide this information. You'll get better answers to your question. I don't believe you'll be eligble for a Prop 36 diversion. However, the judge would have the authority to require you to attend additional cousneling (like Prop 36) rather than send you for more jail time. The judge has wide discretion on matters of probation.
