Expert Advice When You Need It Most

Where can I find an defense attorney to help with a sentence modification ion Cobb County?

I was convicted of not doing as the judge instructed but I fell on hard times and he changed the fines to community service. I had performed the community service as asked by the judge but didn't have paperwork when i went to court because it was at my place of work which was affected by the september flood. I was sentenced to 10 months and taken into custody at court. I now have my paperwork.. can I try for a sentence modification.

10 months is a great deal of time to serve for not doing community service. It appears that you had your sentence modified once before to change your fine to community service. It may be possible to modify your sentence with your updated paperwork. It would require a motion to be put before the sentencing judge. Obviously, there are no guarantees that the judge would grant the motion. Many factors come into play in this situation- the judge, the original sentence, the number of revocations, your evidence of completion of conditions etc. Good Luck with your quest to lower your sentence. I hope this information was helpful.
