The Client, a 33 year old licensed electrician, who had received a CWOF on a drunk driving offense and was required to complete an alcohol education program as a condition of his probation, received a Notice of Probation Violation and Hearing form his probation officer when he was thrown out of the 24D program and also found to be abusing prescription pain killers, was represented by Criminal Defense Attorney Topazio. Attorney Topazio met with his Client’s probation officer in an attempt to get his client back into the 24D program and argued to prevent his client’s CWOF from being revoked if his client stipulated to a violation of his probation. Today, despite his Client’s Probation Officer’s opposition, stipulated to a violation of probation, and Attorney Topazio persuaded the Court to extend his Client’s term of probation by 2 months, instead of revoking the CWOF and imposing a guilty finding, which would have caused a one year suspension of his client’s right to operate a motor vehicle, provided his client reenter and complete the 24D program during that time.
