I would like for someone to take his case and help him get out and reinstated or get him house arrest or put on a monitor or something like an ankle bracelet device can you please help.
I would be happy to discuss the prospect of representing your husband. However, I do not reccomend anyone hire an attorney for the limited purpose of trying to get someone a lower bond or house arrest. Once an attorney is hired on the case, they are obligated for all matters related to the case, of which the bond is a small issue compared to the years of prison at stake.
When there is a motion to revoke probation, the final decision about what happens is with the Judge, not the probation office. The probation office has a reccomendation they make to the DA, and Judge on what they think should happen, but it is not binding. When the probation office alleges a violation of the terms and conditions of probation, they submit a violation report to the District Attorney's Office. The DA then files a motion to revoke probation (motion to adjudicate guilt for deferred adjudication type probation). You are entitled to a bond, but the amount and conditions can vary greatly, depending on the Judge. You can work out an agreement with the DA or set the case for a hearing. At a hearing, you can submit evidence and testimony related to the alleged violations and compliance with probation conditions. The Judge has the option to reinstate probation, extend probation (in some circumstances), add conditions, or revoke and sentence to anywhere within the punishment range for the offense.
