Probation Violations
The Cochran Firm
Probation violation is a criminal offense that occurs when a person does not follow the terms of his/her probation. When a person is placed on probation, he/she is usually averting a jail sentence. In exchange for not having to serve time in jail, people are asked to adhere to strict terms of probation such as not committing more criminal offenses or regularly checking in with probation officers. If a person does not follow the terms of his/her probation, he/she can be charged with probation violation and if the person is found guilty, he/she may have to serve jail time as well as incur additional legal penalties.
Probation Violation Lawyers
If you have been charged with probation violation, you need to act quickly. People who are charged with probation violation are at great risk of having their original sentence imposed if they are convicted. This means that if you were supposed to serve time in jail, but were offered probation instead, you may have to serve your jail sentence if you are convicted of violating your probation.
The good news is that, in many cases, early involvement from an experienced defense attorney can save you from having to serve jail time. Often times, skilled defense lawyers can negotiate with prosecutors and judges so that their clients are issued a warning instead of having their probation revoked or worse.
