Re: crimanal law-sentencing

I'm assuming that "v.o.p." means Violation of Probation. Without knowing that, and how long you have been on probation, and whether all of your fees if any have been paid, and whether your restitution has been paid if any, then its hard to answer your question. The best thing you can do is to retain an attorney and if you cannot afford one then call the Public Defenders Office.
