We see in this case that innocent people get charged sometimes! Criminal cases of this nature require months of preparation and work. Effective representation by the Firm includes a corporate airplane, private investigators, and years of experience as a police officer, judge, prosecutor, and defense attorney.	In the case of Dayberry v. State , Mr. Dayberry's revocation was reversed when the Appellate Court found that he did not waive his right to an attorney. Revocation petitions are a result of the defendant not taking seriously the provisions of the court's orders. Usually, for minor infractions, the probation officer is understanding and may withdraw the petition. Filing a petition is one quick way for the court and probation department to get some control over the defendant. The probation officer will sometimes drop the petition; especially if the defendant starts to abide by the probation rules. We have found that behavior has both good and bad consequences. We work very hard with our clients to show them the importance of following their probation rules. Often a client will call on the weekend for information about the rules. Better that he call us than risk prison because he cannot reach his probation officer.
