    Default Probation Hearing Coming Up

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: California (LA County)

    I've been on probation for the last 5 years. My probation is due to be over in November. I lost all my court documents a couple of years back due to some careless management with some file cabinets.

    Some time ago I got a letter from my PO reminding me that I needed to show proof of completion with a Psychological counseling program. I really did not remember this being a part of my probation, but I can't dispute what they are asking since I don't have the documentation.

    It's mid July and I received a letter ordering me to appear at a Probation Hearing. I'm currently IN a counseling program, which I rushed to get after I received that first letter, and I recently faxed them over a letter that the therapist wrote for me to present to them. The letter is simple and basically just says that I'm getting the counseling.

    THE questions are; What are the odds of me being detained after the hearing for Violation? and; Should/Can I attend the hearing with a lawyer?

    What did your probation officer send you when you asked for a copy of your order of probation, or clarification on what counseling you were required to undergo? Does your present course of counseling satisfy that requirement? Can you complete it before your court date?
