I am going to court tomorrow for a dismissal hearing. I received 3 years of informal probation in 2006. In 2007, I had two charges that were not together and are not related to the case I am going to court for tomorrow. Since the two cases were not at the same courthouse, they did not violate me for the 2007 charges. One of the court houses closed down, and the 2007 case was forwarded to the courthouse handling my 2006 case. Now they are trying to give me a probation violation for something I did over a year ago. Can they do that? What should I do?

I was put into the accelerated rehab program for a DUI in Pennsylvania in 2001 and completed most of the requirements. Due to severe breathing problems, I moved to Michigan with my daughter and requested permission from my probation officer, which was granted. However, I was unable to complete my counseling in Michigan because my records from Pennsylvania were not forwarded. I was later diagnosed with severe emphysema and have been on constant oxygen and medication since, collecting Social Security Retirement Disability since 2003. Recently, I received a letter stating my SSDR would be stopped due to a warrant in Pennsylvania. The local sheriff's department investigated and Pennsylvania refused to extradite me verbally, but Social Security requires a written statement. I cannot obtain this statement and no attorneys in Pennsylvania will help me. I need my SSDR and Medicare to stay alive. What can I do?
