QUESTION
Is it possible to get a detainer lifted in New Jersey?
Asked on Sep 05th, 2019 on Criminal Law - New Jersey
More details to this question:
I have a friend who has been incarcerated in Pennsylvania state prison since January 2013. At the time of his imprisonment, he was on probation in Warren County, NJ for a previous home invasion offense. Based on his new charge/conviction in Pennsylvania, New Jersey held a probation violation hearing which my friend could not attend as he was incarcerated in Pennsylvania! As a result, New Jersey has lodge a detainer against him for failing to appear at his probation violation hearing. He is due to be released on parole in PA next year. Is there any way to get this detainer resolved before he is released next year? How much money/time would an attorney require to handle just the detainer situation?

The key is working with the NJ authorities to address both the detainer and the underlying violation of probation. THis can be done. The authorites do not want open case. They are anxious to discuss the proper solution to adjudicating the open case. We do these negotiations all the time. Please call. Ed Dimon, Esq. 732-797-1600
