Legal Question in DUI Law in Georgia

Re: Probation

A judge cannot put you in jail for not paying your job under the circumstances you describe (a judge will put you in jail for not paying when you have the means to do so, but just choose not to do so). If you've kept a copy of all the money you've paid to probation for fines, counseling and putting food on the table, ask your judge to suspend the rest of the fine. Call your judge's office (yes! You can do that; ask for a court date to address the judge.)

Re: Probation

First of all, congrats on completing college! Since all I have to go on is your account (and I am sure that you have given me all of the details for your side), I feel your pain. In this economy it's all one can do to stay above board. What I suggest is that you contact your probation officer or if you had/have an attorney, ask that they do it and explain to them what you are going through. They are human too and will more than likely work with you through this troubled time. Keep in mind that if you don't have an attorney, that it is always best that you do. They are experienced in negociating a better outcome to any situation. If I can be of any further assistance, please feel free to contact me by phone or email.
