More details to this question:
In May 2019, my daughter was charged with a misdemeanor for elder abuse...I am the victim. At the time I made a decision to go ahead and press charges on the advice of others and to hopefully get her help with managing her emotions. I now regret that decision after seeing all the trouble it has caused with regards to probation, employment an housing , etc. She is not a criminal, just a difficult time in her life. My question: can I get the charges dropped? Thank you, Elfi

While I am not a criminal lawyer, it would appear that you are too late to have the charges dropped as probation means that a final judgment has already been made on your daughter’s case. You may wish to consult with a criminal attorney to see if anything can be done at this time.
