If you are reading this article, you or a loved one are probably on Pennsylvania supervised probation right now. That person may be incarcerated by a probation detainer in the Allegheny County Jail and no one can give an answer as to when they will get out. If this is the case, you most likely need a lawyer for lifting a probation detainer in Pittsburgh.
First, if you are a family member of the person who is incarcerated, please contact a detainer lawyer in Allegheny County before you attempt to contact the probation officer. Lifting a detainer for probation violations in Pittsburgh, or anywhere else in PA, will depend on the attitude of the probation officer. The PO is usually already upset with the Defendant and, when family members contact a Probation Officer they can become even more irritated. Remember, in deciding detainers being lifted for the Allegheny County Jail (and other facilities for detainers in PA), the judge will consider the opinion of the Probation Officer.

Experienced violation of probation lawyers in Pittsburgh, PA, will gather as much positive information as possible about the defendant. A thorough conversation with the probation officer is essential to this process. They will then file a Pennsylvania Petition to Lift Detainer (or transfer detainer) with the judge who imposed the probation. The petition will contain all the gathered information and a simple method for the Court to confirm the contents. The judge may then rule on the petition, or schedule a detainer hearing for the probation violation. The schedule of probation violation hearings varies from court to court.
