Client was accused of a probation violation in Cherokee County for two missed drug tests after having already had an administrative revocation for a missed test. The prosecutor’s policy was to revoke thirty days to the county jail for each missed test. Our team was able to convince the prosecutor to recommend only thirty days. Then, since client only had fifty days remaining on probation, convinced the judge to terminate our client’s probation early if she paid all the monies owed. This led to client’s release from jail and termination of probation the same days as her revocation hearing, which allowed her to get back to her family, job, and school and further her life goals without the burden of daily phone calls to test at a county drug lab.
