    Default Will You Go to Jail for a Probation Violation

    I had gotten an MIP on May 31, then I went to court got put on probation for a year. Then on August 25, I was on the side of the road holding an open beer, was not seen drinking it nor did they give me a breathalizer and I recieved another MIP in a different city. I have an appointed attorney for this next MIP coming up... but I don't know what to do about my violation of probation. I have not had any trouble, I have gone to community service taken drug tests and passed them all. Do I just contact my Probation officer so I set up a hearing? Should I wait til after sentencing for the next MIP? These were my first two offenses... am I going to go to jail? Please help with advice.

    Default Repeated MIP Offenses

    In my experience, probation officers are more forgiving when their clients inform them of additional problems with the law, rather than surprising them at the time of conviction. You would benefit from consulting a local lawyer to see what the typical sentencing practices are in your county, how to best present this information to your probation officer, if violated how to best defend yourself at a probation violation hearing, and how you should respond to the new charge.
