Question: If you violate your first offenders status and the judge revokes it and gives you the maximum of time to serve can you appeal this and do you have to serve the entire sentence?

Answer: You can appeal a first offender violation of probation only to the extent that ypu can appeal a normal violation of probation decision. The reality is if a judge violates a defendant and gives him the maximum, the likelihood of winning at an appeal is extremely low. If the defendant is revoked and re-sentence to the maximum, the Dept. of pardon and Parole determines if the defendant will do all of the time or parole out.
