Common Types of Probation Violation

Probation is essentially a second chance to prove that you are capable of obeying the law, and is offered when the prosecutor thinks that the defendant does not pose a major threat of continued criminal activity. Unfortunately, the terms of probation are often highly restrictive and difficult to follow. Whereas it may be easy to avoid committing a repeat offense, other terms such as abstaining from alcohol after a DUI conviction, staying in the state, securing permission to change your address, paying all your fines on time and not missing a single appointment with your probation officer may be more difficult to abide by. There is even the possibility that you have been falsely accused after a misunderstanding on the part of your probation supervisor.

What are the Penalties for Violating Probation?

If you have been accused of violating the terms of your probation in any way, it is vital that you take immediate action to defend yourself against the serious consequences you face. You could not only be placed on an extended probation but could even have your probation revoked and be sent to jail or prison to serve the full term of your sentence.

Whether you failed a drug test after a drug crime conviction or if you have been arrested for committing another crime, you cannot afford any delay in retaining legal representation.
