Re: I have violated my probation

The first thing you need to do is contact a criminal defense attorney in the city in Ohio where the court is located. If you have violated your probation, then you will be required to appear in court to answer to the supposed violation. An attorney can first tell you if a probation violation has been issued against you and if so what sort of penalty you might be facing for a violation.

If you remain in New York, the court in Ohio still has the power to bring you back from New York to answer to the violation. If you would like to get the situation straightened out, your best course of action is to have an attorney speak with the court to set a court date for you and to try to get the arrest warrant lifted.

If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me.
