Guest Speaker
On Thursday, June 20, we were privileged to have Attorney’s Meghan White and Katie Krejci from the Maricopa County Public Defender’s Office return to our Fearless group to wrap up their discussion on the terms of Probation and Parole. They answered many of our questions and reviewed the conditions in order to be compliant on Probation or Parole. We appreciate the time they have given our group to help us with the complexities of supervision.
