Re: probation curfew

Yes you can hire a lawyer to file a motion to modify your probation. If you write me with the county you are in, I can tell you how much I would charge.

Re: probation curfew

The probation officer has no power to alter the terms of your probation since it was imposed by the Judge. Therefore, only the Judge can alter your curfew. Doing so is a relatively easy process. Essentially, a lawyer simply needs to file a motion with the court, supported with evidence of the necessity for the change, such as a letter from your boss.

I would be happy to help you with that process. Please contact me at your convenience.
