Probation Violations: What’s at Stake
The probation period allows individuals to serve their sentence outside of jail under certain conditions. These conditions can involve strict rules about how you are expected to conduct yourself during the probation period. If you violate the terms assigned to you, you may face serious consequences. Some commonly violated probation conditions can include, missed appointments, failed drug tests, new arrests, or other infractions. Your probation can be revoked and you may even get additional jail time. But even if you are accused of violating your probation, you may have options that we can help you explore.
Types of Probation Violation Cases We Handle
Technical (Non-Criminal) Violations:
We assist clients accused of missing meetings, failing to complete community service, or other non-criminal violations.
New Criminal Charges:
Being arrested or charged with a new offense while on probation can escalate your situation quickly. We can put together a defense for both the criminal charges and your probation violation.
Substance-Related Violations:
We advocate for clients dealing with failed drug tests or treatment-related issues, often seeking alternatives to incarceration. For instance, failing a drug test may lead to incarceration but we may be able to make a case for alternative measures such as rehabilitation.
