sounds like he was flopped! Not sure what state you're in, but I know this happens all the time in Michigan! Good Luck, hopefully his lawyer can shed some light on this for you.

When was he sentenced and does the new date coincide with that date? They may have made a mistake when he was first sentenced. I know when my husband was sentenced they gave him a way earlier date than what he was actually looking at

he was sentenced in jan of 2008 and the sentencing order signed by the judge was for 2yrs. but they somehow amended the sentence to 4yrs(though he only would do half in either case)

hopefully that lawyer picks up his phone and does the job you're paying him for!!!! kinda sounds like the lawyer knew this was going to happen and won't return your calls b/c he knows you're upset!! i'd go down to the office and speak with him in person, he can't dodge you there!!!
