Location: Indiana  |  Law type: Criminal defense attorney

I have a warrant in another state that is over ten years old that I just found out about. It's an old DUI case. I was placed on 1 year of unsupervised probation because I lived in another state. I thought this had been resolved years ago, but I recently learned it wasn't. When I looked it up on the clerk of courts it says,

"STATE FILES PETITION TO REVOKE PROBATION. INITIAL REVOCATION HEARING ON SAID PETITION IS SET FOR MARCH 20, 2012 AT 1:30 P.M. (SERVICE BY CERTIFIED MAIL) (RJO? N) | JTS Minute Entry Date: 02/23/2012

However, I was NEVER notified of any court date. . I thought it was taken care of years ago being that it was non reporting from another state and the fact that all my fines were paid.

A criminal defense lawyer is a lawyer (mostly barristers) specializing in the defense of individuals and companies charged with criminal activity. Some criminal defense lawyers are privately retained, while others are employed by the various jurisdictions with criminal courts for appointment to represent indigent persons; the latter are generally called public defenders. The terminology is imprecise because each jurisdiction may have different practices with various levels of input from state and federal law or consent decrees. Some jurisdictions use a rotating system of appointments with judges appointing a private practice attorney or firm for each case. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_defense_lawyer
