    Default Violation of Georgia Probation After Moving Out of State

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: georgia

    My friend has a son whom moved from Georgia to another state with a transferred probation. The son lived in the other state and eventually thought he was no longer on probation. He moved to another state out west and learned a warrant was issued for his arrest by officers going to a friend's home (in Georgia) to arrest him. Atty. in the western state checked on the records in the state of Ga. and determined there was no warrant for him.His mother called the Sherriff's office and was told there was a warrant for him.
    He has remained fine upstanding citizen with no record. He does not do drugs. He goes to church.
    He has seen another atty. out west. Can an out of state atty. determine if he will indeed go to jail for violation or can the atty. find out the
    protocol for representing his client in order to provide no jail time. The young man is willing to pay retribution, etc. He would like to continue his life and move up in the company where he works.

    He will ultimately have to deal with his probation violation in Georgia, so it would make sense for him to be retaining a Georgia lawyer to try to resolve this on his behalf.

    It all depends on if it was felony probation or misdemeanor probation.

    If he was on misdemeanor probation and will never go near Georgia again, I wouldn't worry too much about him being arrested or serving any jail time.

    But if it was a felony probation, they can and usually will arrest a person anywhere for the warrant, since it is for a felony.
