Do I hire an attorney
in the Co I was originally sentenced in? Or the Co my case was transferred to? My fiancé is revoking himself from probation and we're looking
for a lawyer. Would we need to hire an attorney out of the county (Dane Co) he
was originally sentenced in? Or the county he is currently serving his time in?
His probation was t...Jay’s Answer While
an attorney in Madison might be more knowledgeable of the courts there, most
court appearances during these Covid precaution days are by Zoom video, or just
by phone, and can therefore be done from anywhere in the world that has stable
internet service. Either way, if you prefer an attorney in your home area, he
or she would not necessarily need to travel to Madison for court but could
instead probably do it from Sauk County. That might make it easier to
communicate with your fiancé, although a Dane County judge will sentence him if
he has not yet been sentenced, giving a slight edge to a Dane County lawyer. As
noted, however, if he has already be sentenced to imposed and stayed time,
however, he will not even go in front of the judge again, but instead straight
to prison after revocation, if that was his sentence, so there might not be
much for the lawyer to do. I would suggest instead a consult with has past case
lawyer before he makes any decision to self-revoke his probation, so that he
knows what to expect and how to best prepare.
