If your back up sentence is more than thirty days, many judges will require you to have counsel.

What are you on probation for? If I was in your situation, I would hire an attorney to exert his or her best efforts to avoid having your probation revoked in most situations. But, if thi sis a very minor case with no negative consequences follwoing a revocation, then it might not be the most practical solution. Please feel free to contact me and share more information. If it would be best for you to hire an attorney, I might be able to represnt you myself for a reasonable fee. In any event, at least speak with an attorney.
