Facts About Probation Violations

If a probationer on felony or misdemeanor probation has failed to complete a condition of probation, he faces substantial jail or prison time. It is therefore critical that you have an experienced criminal defense attorney at your side.

Often, there are reasonable explanations as to why a condition of probation was not completed. If the probationer was ill, family was ill, unforeseeable work obligations and lack of money are all reasonable explanations for failing to meet the conditions of probation. However, only a skilled defense attorney can argue these points and obtain documentation and verification that will satisfy the court.

If the probation department seeks to violate your probation, it is absolutely critical that you ask the court to hear your side of the story before the probation department has violated your probation and sought a warrant for your arrest. If the probation department has already requested the warrant or if there is an outstanding warrant, it is equally as critical that you contact an attorney who can ask for a court hearing before you are arrested on the warrant. If you show up in court before being arrested, you have a much better chance of successfully defending the probation violation.

If the conditions of probation are causing an undue hardship on the probationer, your defense attorney can successfully argue for a modification of probation or in some circumstances, early termination of probation.

2 Researching potential legal defenses.
3 Aggressively negotiating with the probation department to ensure they are in agreement with your lawyer to prevent a violation of probation.
4 Obtaining the correct documentation and verification of the reasons for the violation. This can include bringing witnesses to court to testify on behalf of the probationer. The documentation will be attached to a formal motion asking the court not to violate the probation.
