Lawyers agree
Answered If it is a condition of a Court’s sentence then is up to the individual Judge whether or not to convert CSH’s to a monetary fine; if it is pursuant to a diversionary plea / program then it is exclusively up to the State Attorney.

Your proffer suggests compelling reasons to amend the condition and permit the conversion (which is usually done at the rate of $10.00 / hr) but, again, you will need to seek and secure permission – beforehand.

My advise: DO NOT (caps intentional) wait until the term (probation / diversion / whatever) expires. Get in front of it and deal with it proactively. If you do not have a lawyer then get into an experienced J-ville area criminal defense attorney’s office (if you have one then get into yours) and have her / him take the appropriate action before you are playing defense.

I hope that this has been helpful and wish you the best of luck!

This incorporates such things as (but is not limited to) doing my best to meet clients at their convenience (as opposed to mine), in locations and at times which are mutually convenient (sometimes at their homes, places of business, independent ground - having free wifi and excellent coffee any Dunkin Donuts always works for me - and occasionally even at odd hours), structuring fees to reasonably accommodate the parties, making myself personally available to the client as close to 24/7 as is possible and, perhaps most importantly, giving careful and comprehensive consideration to both micro and macro issues in a given case so as to be able to agree upon and effort toward a viable litigation objective.
