What is a Probation Violation?
The terms of probation may include community service, drug or alcohol education or treatment, fines, restitution, remaining employed, regular drug testing, no new violations of the law, and other conditions. Violation of the terms of your probation can mean going to jail or prison to serve out the full term of your sentence. When an allegation of a probation violation is made, the court can issue an arrest warrant for the probationer and will hold a probation violation hearing (PVH) to hear evidence from both sides. Failure to appear will only make the situation worse. If a warrant has been issued for your arrest, you urgently need to work closely with a probation violation defense lawyer with a track record of successful outcomes in probation revocation hearings.
The Importance of Hiring a Santa Barbara Probation Violation Attorney
Meeting the requirements of probation after a misdemeanor or a felony conviction can be demanding. Whether you must report regularly to a probation officer (felony probation) or report periodically to the court (summary probation), probation officers, prosecutors, and the court take a serious attitude concerning violations of probation conditions. We understand that anyone can make a mistake. It is vital that you don’t make a second mistake by trying to defend yourself without the assistance of a probation violation attorney who is ready to fight for you in your probation revocation hearing.
