Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

Re: Reversing a plea

Typically a judge will state on the record that you can withdraw your plea if the PSR indicates a need for a different outcome, as in your case. There are other alternatives, as well. However, you will most likely need the services of a lawyer to accomplish any of them.

Re: Reversing a plea

In certain circumstances there are methods that allow you to withdraw your plea, although it is not always successful. You should retain an attorney to review the record of what happened and to advise you on the best course of action.

Re: Reversing a plea

I owuld like to primarily address the first issue. Overall, probation does have the right to use their own 'best judgment' with regards to conditions placed upon an individual on probation, and generally in cases such as yours such requirements are asked for as a mere extension of the order of protection which was likely placed on you during your case, and was extended at the termination of your trial.

Requesting to change a plea is one possibility, there are several other options however... as the other attorneys who have responded to you have stated... ALL of which you will need to hire an attorney to accomplish...

the only other option is simply riding your probation out and making a request for early termination after completing half of the probation, which you are entitled to legally seek as a remedy as well...
