What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
My husband plead no contest to 2 felonies and received 2 years probation in a plea bargain. He had the choice of 1 felony with 6 six months jail or the 2 felonies with 2 years probation. He's been on probation for 15 months. He's on his 5th probation officer. This last probation officer said the Judge, Prosecutor, and our lawyer made a mistake with the plea bargain. That his crime (which he plead no contest to) requires a mandatory minimum of 5 years probation. He only has 9 months left. How can we fight this and can we get a court appointed lawyer for this since the case was already resolved and now is being re-opened?
