Don't be cheap and get a lawyer even if you have to start saving to do so.
I'm willing to bet you'll need one either way.

Also, don't pick up a bow to hunt.
Probation says no hunting. Might want to as a PO before you try to get a lisense.

Seriously though, if the OP isn't comfortable obtaining the documents himself, or relying on his own comprehension of what they say, then this situation appears to need a level of professional assistance beyond the typical 'advice' that GL offers for free. That's not to say he can't help, but I'd say the chances of resolving this without actually paying an attorney are slim.
I never said anything about GL doing anything for free. Obviously, some kind of dialogue has to take place to get things started. I only suggested someone who is more than qualified to undertake such a task. What transpires between them is none of my business.

Owing up to something like this (whatever it is) shows a lot of character and goes a long way in my book.


Hope everything goes your way and you get your fun back.

I SIGNED ONE DOCUMENT AT THE HEARING, THE WHOLE THING WAS PRETTY SURREAL AND VERY HECTIC. THE REAL PAPERWORK STARTED WHEN I WENT TO THE PROB. OFFICE. I SIGNED SOOO MANY PAPERS THERE, I HONESTLY DID NOT READ THEM ALL. ALL OF THE COPIES I HAVE FROM THEM ARE PROGRAM PAPERS, I.E., NO POSSESSION OF FIREARMS, NO ALCOHOL, ETC. I DID RAISE OBJECTIONS TO THE 10 YEAR PERIOD AT THE OFFICE WITHIN AN HOUR OF SENTENCE AND HAVE CONTINUED TO RAISE OBJECTIONS EVER SINCE, TO NO AVAIL.
