Violations of Probation

A Florida probation violation is a very serious matter.  In order to protect your best interests and defend your rights, you must contact an experienced attorney immediately.

Why probation violations require qualified counsel

Violating the terms of your supervision usually means that the judge can sentence you to any legal sentence up to and including the maximum penalty allowed by law.  Arrest warrants for violations of probation commonly carry no bond.

Technical and substantial violations of probation

Whether your alleged violations are technical, substantial, or both, you are in great danger of going to jail or prison.  The right counsel explaining the circumstances of your alleged violations might go a long way towards avoiding a harsh sentence.  Even if you have not committed an additional crime under probation, technical violations require a skilled attorney to present the documentation or evidence to explain to the judge how your violations occurred and why they will not occur again.
