    Question Petition for Revocation of DUI Probation

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Colorado

    I am currently in probation for a 2nd DUI offense, however, I was involved in a rollover car accident last labor day, and I was given a Driving Under Restraint due to alcohol charge, along with careless driving and failure to remain at the scene. I fractured my back and had to have emergency surgery, and was put on a back brace for an undetermined period of time. Now, keep in mind that I ran from the scene with my back split in 2, and I basically collapsed in a nearby forest and could not move from there until rescuers found me about 3 hours later. My question is: will I be seeing jail time? My probation officer and I have a good relationship, and I was complaint and doing everything right up until the accident. Will my injury play a role on not going to jail? I was walking the day after surgery, albeit barely, and the surgeon said it was a miracle I wasn't either dead or paralyzed...this is my first violation, and I was given a court for the 29th of this month, should I hire an attorney or get a public defendant? Any help or recommendations would be appreciated, thanks.

    EDIT - I have not been convicted of the charges yet, as the accident happened in a different county that I am doing probation, also, I let my P.O. know the very next day from the hospital about what happened, and she seemed kinda regretful when she informed me I had to go to court for a hearing, it was more of a thing she had to do from what I can tell. Should I ask her to put out a good word for me in court? Can she even do anything for me?

    You can ask her but what sort of "good word" is she able to give you? You need a lawyer both for your new charge and your probation revocation.
