There are sentencing guidelines when certain probation violations occur. But when one catches new charge(s) and is convicted....the Judge will have more discretion and sentence you as he/she feels just and fair. The forgery and uttering are both felonies. They are more serious than misdemeanors. Hire a good attorney. That is my advise. A good attorney may very likely have a positive effect on the outcome of the case.
