Re: probation violation

You or your new flake-free attorney can file a Motion To Modify Sentence, and make your argument to the court.

Good luck, and congratulations on your little bundle of karma.

Move to modify. In that motion, cover all the things that you've done to comply with any conditions of the deferred. In any case, do it BEFORE the deferred comes up for review and BEFORE any revocation action.
