Answer 4

PSI or Pre-Sentence Investigation, it is ordered by the judge if he feels more information is needed before he can sentence a person. The information is gathered by a probation officer they will ask the person in question, a series of questions and then verify what information they were given. The officer then reports back to the judge the findings and any other information he has obtained through his investigation. Also the probation officer can give his professional opinion on the information and give a recommendation as to what to consider and what not to consider when sentencing the individual.

Answer 5

PSI stands for Pre-Sentence Investigation.

The probation officer will meet with the defendant and get his or her statement about the offense, along with a lot of other information regarding their social history and background, any substance abuse, mental health issues, criminal history, etc...

The officer will then take that information and develop a recommended sentence in the case. The Court can agree with probation's recommendation or disagree with it. Sentencing is ultimately up to the Judge... but most judges realize the effort probation goes in to, to develop recommendations that make sense and are in the best interests of the defendant and the safety of the community.

This is MAJOR. It's no wonder the former lawyer doesn't return your calls. Procedurally, following a guilty plea or conviction, it is the interviews conducted which contribute to the PSI; and, it is this documentation upon which a judge determines an appropriate sentence. The Judge has no other means to learn each convicted person's circumstances without the essential PSI report. First thing, go to the website to the Bar Association in your state & familiarize yourself & file a grievance against the former attorney. Be as detailed & thorough as possible. Keep copies. Investigations of alleged misconduct or incompetence by a member of the bar (lawyer) are conducted usually by a bureau of your state's Supreme Court. You can't go any higher than this! If their findings are favorable & support your assertions made here, they will internally refer this miscarriage of justice for resolution; return of fees paid; and, possibly other monetary damages as well as the all-important reconsideration of the sentence based on inaccuracies contained in the PSI report. Then, find another attorney who's willing to not only sue the first attorney but also be willing to petition the court to re-visit this criminal sentencing matter after you win the suit proving the incompetency of the first lawyer, if the investigative arm of the state Supreme court cannot do the deed. Best of luck to you and your entire family. WE both know this is a fight worthy of no surrender. In our Pledge of Allegiance, the final words are: "with justice for all." When I hear stories such as this, I want to add the word: "sometimes." And, in the images of mythic "justice," she may be blind-folded but in addition to the scales, she holds a sword.
