Violated Probation

There are numerous ways that probation can be violated, including missing a meeting with your probation officer, failing a drug test and being arrested on another case. And, if you are facing a probation violation or revocation hearing, you are probably wondering if you should get a probation attorney for your hearing. No matter how you violated probation, you have the right to make your case as to why your probation should not be revoked.

Ultimately, it is a judge who will make the final decision as to whether you violated probation. But, having an experienced probation attorney fight for you and present your side of the situation is important in helping you obtain the best results possible. Don’t just appear in court on your own and hope for the best if you’ve been accused of having violated probation. You should hire an experienced probation attorney to assist you. Depending on the type of sentence you received, the violation you are accused of and your personal circumstances, there may be alternatives to revoking probation to present to the judge.
