Possible Probation Violation

I have been on probation and paying restitution for almost 2 yrs, and probation is due to end in only 4 weeks. I recently recv'd communication from the probation department, asking me to "voluntarily" extend my probation, since even though I've been making all my payments, the restitution is not even... close to being paid in full. (I've only made a 10% dent in the restitution). I told probation I wouldn't voluntarily extend it and they told me they could violate my probation for not agreeing to extend it and for failing to make full restitution by the end of the two yrs. I consulted w/ Eric and he told me they CANNOT do that, as long as I've made all my payments and the normal course of events is that they would reduce the rest of my payments to a civil judgment. I then told probation that I consulted an attorney and he said they couldn't violate me and that it should be reduced to a judgment. Probation told me he was wrong and they could violate me, but she would discuss it w/ her supervisor and call me back. 4 days later, I got a letter from probation saying they would be filing a civil judgment agst me. HAH! If I hadn't sought advice from Eric, most likely I would have allowed probation to bully me into accepting the extension and they would have kept their iron grip firmly around my neck. I am willing to bet they do that to everyone, all the time and if I hadn't consulted w/ Eric, I would have let them get away w/ it, as I was scared to death about being thrown in jail. Thanks so much Eric -- you're a lifesaver!

Yours is a great example of why it is worth consulting a lawyer early in the process rather than later. It is so much easier to do it right in the first place than fix mistakes later.

You are in good hands

I was completely distraught and overwhelmed when my son was arrested in NJ earlier this year. I was completely unaware of the legal system or how quickly things could get crazy. I sat in the courthouse not knowing what to do next. Being from NY i just went online and googled NJ lawyer and Eric Mark's... name and profile came up along with a few others. I chose him because his office was close to the NJ court that was hearing the case. I found out early on that i was in good hands, I felt at ease for the first time since my nightmare began. Eric has a presence that make you feel like he really cares, like your case is the only one he has to work on. He was always available to us either by phone, text or email. I gained trust in him as the case progressed as he is extremely knowledgeable and kept me up to date on the littliest detail. The case was resolved favourably for us and I will always be grateful to Eric for giving my son his life back, he was able to go into the Air Force without this hanging over his head.

I am pleased with Mr. Mark's fast and professional response and highly recommend him as a trustworth and dedicated attorney

I found Eric Mark's name through the Internet search and sent him a question regarding my friend's charges. Before contacting him, I tried to find the answer with a few attorneys, bit either I didn't get any response or they were absolutely incompetent in the topic. Mr. Mark's response was very fast,... complete, professional and, what is extremely important, very helpful for my friend. I found Mr. Mark to be an outstanding attorney who is able and willing to devote his time and skills for the people who are seeking for immediate and professional assistance. I highly recommend him as a lawyer and if I am in need of a lawyer in New Jersey again, he is the first one I will call.
