Should I have an attorney at my probation violation hearing?

Altman & Altman, LLP

In Massachusetts, I would say you’re basically crazy if you don’t have an attorney represent you in a probation violation. As a matter of fact, very often, you have an absolute right to be represented and if you can’t afford an attorney you’re indigent and the court will assign you somebody. But, the fact is, even if that‘s not the case, and you don’t qualify for court-appointed counsel, you got to have an attorney that’s experienced in dealing with probation violation hearings. They’re they’re animals in and of themselves, different from other criminal cases. And, without that representation, you’re probably going on a voyage. I’m Sam Goldberg, lead counsel for criminal defense matters, at Altman and Altman in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I have twenty-five years of experience. If you’re in trouble and you need someone in your corner, who cares, and will fight for you, give me a call.

Is it a probation violation to leave the state of Massachusetts?

Altman & Altman, LLP

If you're on probation in Massachusetts, you have to do what the probation officer tells you to do. If it appears to you to be something that's unreasonable, you can hire counsel you can bring it before the judge, but absenting that you have to do what the probation officer tells you to do. That includes whether or not you can leave the state, usually depending upon the circumstances you can't, but you can't do it unless the probation knows and has OK'd it otherwise it is a violation of probation.

What do I do if a debt collector has violated the law?

Howard | Nassiri, LLP

In California, if you believe a debt collector has cross the line or violated the law, what you first must do is document the wrongdoing. So many times I have clients that come in and they tell me in general that a debt collector has crossed the line, but what I specifically need to know, or what an attorney needs to know is what exactly were the bad acts? For example, a common violation is phone calls- harassing phone calls by the debt collectors after the given time periods. Or they've said harassing or abusive things to that consumer. You need to document that, get the time, date, who you spoke with and what was said, and give that over to your attorney and that's the first step in prosecuting one of these claims.
