Philadelphia Detainer Lifted and Probation Continued

December 2016

"Mark" was accused of violating his probation by the Philadelphia Probation Department due to a New Jersey domestic violence arrest. The Philadelphia Probation Department lodged a "detainer" and issued a bench warrant for Mark's arrest when he failed to report to the Philadelphia Probation Department to be taken into custody pending a violation of probation hearing.

In light of these concerns, and also with the goal to do whatever is possible to try to get a client the best possible result, we filed a motion with the Philadelphia Court to request that Mark's detainer be lifted and his bench warrant be vacated without him having to go into custody prior to a violation of probation hearing. After negotiating with the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office and explaining the reasons for our request to the judge, the judge granted our request and lifted Mark's detainer and vacated his bench warrant.
