On diff adjuducation for a 1st off for 5 yrs almost done, 1 violation accused of faking community service hours (not true but cant prove it)

Of course, there is no absolute answer to your situation but there are two things you must keep in mind in making your decision:1- You have the right to a hearing where the state has the burden of proving that you violated your conditions. It is not your burden to prove that you didn't.  2- unfortunately their burden is preponderance of the evidence which is much lower than beyond a reasonable doubt. In other words it's easier for them to meet their burden on these type of cases. But they do still have the burden. It sounds like you have done great otherwise, especially on your restitution, it maybe a good idea to leave it up to the judge. That all depends of the judge you have, of course. Good luck, hope the best for you.

Regardless of whether you hire the attorney or not, you can have a privileged conversation about your case and decide how to proceed.

It is a misdemeanor offense for which you could receive up to 1 year in jail and up to a $4,000 fine. It is highly unlikely you will receive a jail sentence. You need to hire a lawyer.
