If you just received a suspended sentence for theft and are on probation what do you do when new charges are filed? |
Answer
Obtain legal counsel as soon as possible.
If you cannot afford private counsel request the court to appoint you a public defender at the arraignment.
In such a case it is not advisable to use self-representation without being fully informed of your legal rights and the consequences to entering into an agreement with the state or entering a plea to the court.
Note to this: when approached by officer(s) say "I'm more than willing to co-operate but I feel more comfortable with it being arranged through my attorney"
Say nothing else until explained to an attorney and let he/she speak on your behalf
violations depend on charges filed
