Under what circumstances will a judge grant a sentence modification?

He needs to provide specific details as to what services you need, referencing your medical condition, the types of assistance he will be needed to provide, the fact that family is not nearby, the fact that medical care cannot/is not being provided by medical care givers, and any other grounds to establish that friends and neighbors cannot be relied upon to perform the assistance he provides. You and he will also need to appear in front of the judge in an effort to convince the judge that is is a justified modification on these grounds. Good luck.
