Is my probation officer also an attorney?
No. Your probation officer cannot give you legal advice. The probation officer can help explain the court process, but they cannot advise you on how to handle your case, nor can they listen to your explanation of the offense while the case is pending. You must share this information with your defense attorney.
If you need assistance in contacting your attorney, setting up a quash hearing for a bench warrant, if you have questions about the court process or your release conditions, the Intake probation officer can assist you. The probation officer is also a great resource for information regarding programs for youth such as school, community service and drug and alcohol programs.

2.
This is my child’s responsibility so why do I have to be at court?
When a child is in trouble, it affects the whole family. The parent needs to be involved and share honest information with the court. Parent signatures are required on court orders. Most youth pending a criminal matter are out-of-custody and must abide by court-ordered release conditions. It is important that both youth and parent are aware of the release conditions. Parents are expected to report to the probation officer when their child is in violation of the release orders.
3.
Are there restrictions/obligations after a court hearing?
The court has the authority to place a juvenile on community supervision for up to one year for each offense. While under the supervision of the court, the juvenile is required to meet certain conditions, including (but not limited to) curfew, fines, community service, association restrictions, regular school attendance, counseling, and regular contact with the probation officer. If the juvenile violates any condition of community supervision, the parent (guardian) must immediately report the violation to the probation officer who may handle the violation informally, schedule the matter for court, or request a bench warrant. If found to have violated any condition of community supervision, the court may order the juvenile to serve up to 30 days in detention for each violation.
4.
Will my school be contacted?
After arraignment, a subpoena will be sent to your school requesting your transcripts and a copy of your disciplinary file. If you have been to court and are placed on probation, your school will receive official notification of your probation period and the offense for which you were placed on probation.
