HOW BEST TO CLEAR A VOP?
I WAS PUT ON PROBATION IN1998. I HAD A NEPHEW GET KILLED IN A CAR WRECK IN MARCH OF 1998. SO I ASKED MY PROBATION OFFICER IF I COULD GO HOME FOR THE FUNERAL, BUY HE WOULDN’TT GIVE ME AN ANSWER SO I LEFT AND WENT HOME. AFTER THE FUNERAL I TURNED MYSELF INTO THE LOCAL SHERIFF TO MOVE PROBATION UP HERE. HE STATED I WASN’T WANTED BUT HE COULDN’T PUT ME ON PROBATION. I HAVE LIVED A TROUBLE FREE CHRISTIAN LIFE SINCE I MOVED BACK HERE. I RECEIVED DISABILITY BECAUSE OF HEART AND KIDNEY FAILURES; NOW MY DISABILITY IS BEING HELD UP.CAN I GET MY PROBATION TRANSFERRED UP HERE?

You are very honorable for doing the right thing. However, you should consult with a criminal defense attorney in Florida, where you now reside to a) see if he or she can do some research and run your background check and see if there is a warrant out for your arrest in the state in which you lived and b) see if you can get probation in the state in which you currently live or if at this point you can get possibly get the probation considered completed by the court. Be prepared. Do some research on the lawyers before you choose one and make sure you come prepared to show how you have been living a Christian life, your ties to local church, to the community and your medical disability.
