Jeanette Bigney has successfully defended her clients in violation of probation hearings. She understands that a violation of probation is just as critical as the original case but very different procedurally. Specifically, a violation of probation occurs when a probation officer swears that you, the probationer, failed to comply with a condition imposed by the court. Common examples of violations of probation include:
- Failure to pay imposed costs;
- Not showing up at a schedule appointment with a probation officer;
- Testing positive on a drug screen;
- Incomplete community service hours;
- Not being where you are supposed to be;
- Not timely reporting an address change; and/or
- Getting accused or arrested for a new criminal charge.
There are defenses to violations of probations. There are also favorable resolutions to violations of probation. Getting the best results for a violation of probation case is vastly different for the original, or underlying crime. Unlike the original crime a person was put on probation for a person accused of violating his probation is not entitled to bond, may be called to testify against himself and does not have a jury hear the evidence . Without proper representation for violation of probation the immediate and long-term results can be ruinous. If you think or know that you violated your probation, call attorney Jeanette Bigney.
