When Someone You Care About Violates Probation
Because the legal system imposes strict guidelines on people accused of crimes, people who have never been on probation or community control before are in for a big adjustment. They may find that violating probation is easier than they ever anticipated. People accused of violating probation may have allegedly missed a visit with a probation officer, they may have failed a drug test or been unable to pay a fee. Sometimes they are accused of re-offending.
At the Adkinson Law Firm, LLC, our attorneys understand the stresses and fears that come with accusations of probation violation. Families naturally have many questions:
- Will my loved one be able to bond out of jail if he violates probation?
- Will my loved one be sentenced to jail or prison because she violated her probation?
- Can his probation be reinstated?
Our law firm helps families answer these questions and others, and defends people accused of probation violations or violations of community control (often called house arrest). We are dedicated to helping you achieve the best possible results.
What to Expect After a Probation Violation
People accused of a probation violation often face the same judge they had when they picked up their original charge. They appear in the same court, in front of the same state attorney. the situation can be intimidating. That is why it is critical that they work with an experienced attorney who knows the legal system and who can advocate forcefully for them.
