What to do if I have a probation violation hearing tomorrow but have not completed my community service?
I did not do the 40 hours of community service for 2 reasons. First of all, the only time to do this is Mon-Fri, 7 am-3 pm. I recently got a job to get off welfare and support my 2 children myself. I work 8-4 Tuesday-Sat (some Mondays half days). I have only been at this job almost 3 months and don’t want to lose it (to take a full week off). Also, I do have an anxiety disorder which effects me in crowded areas or public places. I have had this for 3 years and see a doctor monthly. I can’t afford an attorney. I have to do this myself and don’t know what I can do. This is my first time that I have been in trouble; it was a misdemeanor. The fines are paid .

Hello. Do contact an attorney licensed in YOUR state. The attorney will advise you and you can form arrangements for her/him to appear at court with you and assist you. Some attorneys are available seven days for emergency legal needs. Many attorneys will speak initially at no charge. Then, if legal work is performed, some attorneys will provide a reduced fee for financial hardship. Some attorneys may also assist you in a limited scope manner to conserve legal costs. All the best.
