Probation Violations

South Florida Probation Violations Criminal Defense Law Firm

Even after you have served your time in jail or prison, your individual rights are curtailed by probation. When you are on probation, even a small violation can have lasting and serious consequences that do not seem to fit the crime. This is because when you are charged with a probation violation, your penalties are determined by the possible penalties (sentencing guidelines) from the initial offense.

Probation violations can stem from failing to report to a probation officer to being charged with — not convicted of — another crime. Frequently, they stem from confusion or scheduling mix-ups and may not be the fault of the probationer. But in order to avoid going back to prison or other harsh legal consequences, people charged should get help from a Miami probation violation criminal defense attorney.
