   Answered December 14, 2012 04:28. For starters, the defendant needs to contact a lawyer immediately. A number of factors need to be considered, such as: the underlying conviction and sentence; the basis for the violation (i.e. failure to report, failure to perform a court ordered task, getting arrested for a new offence etc.); the reason for the delay in serving the warrant. Did the defendant move and leave no forwarding address? A lawyer can request the "warrant activity sheet" to determine what efforts were made to locate the defendant and where those efforts reasonable? VOP's are extremely easy for the State to prove so it would be in the defendant's best interests to contact an experienced criminal defense attorney ASAP. Also, unless good cause is found by the court a VOP hearing MUST be held within 120 days of the arrest.

   Answered December 17, 2012 10:42. Attorney Thygerson is spot on, and I completely agree with his advice.
   
   I would not delay, as that will only cause more difficulty in solving the problem.
   
   Good Luck

It is absolutely NOT legal advice that you should rely upon when making a decision. It is general information about the law in Connecticut. You need to consult with an attorney who will ask you all the facts necessary to give you specific legal advice for your situation. less
