Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

My wife missed reporting to her probation officer and the po had her sign a revocation paper. She wants to waive the hearing and get out of jail. How would she go about that?

She would get a lawyer (or you would get her one). She shouldn't be doing or signing anything without counsel. Why have you not gotten her a lawyer?

IF she has already signed the waiver admitting that she has violated her probation, the PO may have already filed the paperwork dictating how much time she has remaining in jail. IF she has not signed paperwork admitting that she has violated probation, then she has to appear before a judge in order for a judge to determine how much time she will serve. She does not choose how much time she will serve after she violates probation. See website for info on retaining the right attorney: http://www.lawrencelewispc.com/pages.php?go=pinfo&PID=38

Good luck
