A Friend of mine violated probation and served the time for it. They got arrested recently and the charges were dropped but now they have a hold on them for this violation she already served time for. What do you do?
The friend should get a lawyer to review the matter and argue that the hold is inappropriate.
The 'friend' needs to hire an attorney. YOU can't do a thing other than hire the attorney for him. If serious about doing so, and if this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me. I’ll be happy to help fight and get the best outcome possible, using whatever defenses and sympathies there may be.
