    What do you mean by one recommit? I have a black female judge. I've done most things in a timely manner. I just flat out lost the paper work that had the date and I assumed it was today but it was last week. My case worker says to go in an Quash the warrant asap. Does that mean an extended wait in jail do you think?

    Or will the public defender or lawyer help me get to the judge faster. I already have a spot in orientation for next month so thats been in the books for a month or so.
    You most likely have a warrant. Go turn yourself in and get that taken care of before anything else because if you don't go turn yourself in, the cops will eventually find you and then you'll be arrested once they see the warrant. So it would behoove you to take care of that first. You might spend a night in jail. Depends on when you turn yourself in and how long it takes to get in front of a judge. So just go take care of the warrant first.

    Well... the next group starts May 2nd. But you've been violated already and you had a warrant. You had plenty of time to present your worker with financial papers to reduce your fees. Those won't fly in the court room and she, does not play with defendants. You are scheduled to meet with me for orientation. If you don't quash that warrant, you won't get into group. What office do you report to?

    When you report to your caseworker, where is the office located? DV Court, 26th, 51st, etc...?

    In Illinois, a Caseworker is a probation officer. Cook County is one of the only states that I know of, that has a department that mainly deals with misdemeanor offenses while, Adult Probation will usually deal with felonies. The power of each department's officers(including juvenile) is equal.

    If you can pay for a lawyer you won't get a public defender. It doesn't matter who your lawyer is - it matters what's already on the court docket. You can't get rid of the warrant before you turn yourself in. You have to turn yourself in and go from there.

    There is nothing on the docket right now. He's warrant, off call. From here on out, as long as the warrant exists, he can complete every condition and still not get any credit for it. As of today, he has less than a business day to get recalled before that group starts, That is, if he even made the list...

    Are you assuming you know who I am? Because I was signed up for these groups sometime at the end of March already.

    If you don't provide and update then no one here will make the assumption that you took care of anything.

    Given the viol8te has intimate knowledge of the system and personnel in your area has it occurred to you that you may well know viol8te or they may know you even if only as a name on a list? Given that your name is on a list of attendees or probationers doesn't appear as your user name it is entirely possible that you've even had a conversation.

    Who knows...
