Probation Violation

The consequences for violating the terms of probation are very serious and could result in jail or prison time. Because the consequences are extreme, it is imperative to speak with a Duluth probation violation lawyer so you can discuss your options, tell your side of the story, and receive the best outcome in the case.

Through aggressive representation, you may be able to prove that you did not violate the terms of your probation or minimize the consequences.

There are several ways a person can violate their probation. Those ways include:

• A communication issue with the probation officer
• A new criminal charge
• Not fully understanding the terms of the probation
• Believing probation was over when it wasn’t

There are different reasons why a violation can occur. No matter how it happened, you have the right to defend yourself against the accusation. At Andrew & Poole, P.A, we work hard to ensure they just understand your perspective and why the probation occurred, whether it was your fault or not.

If the probation officer alleges that you violated probation, the judge will issue a warrant for your arrest. Once you are in custody, you are served with a notice that outlines your alleged violations. The alleged violations must be discussed with your Duluth probation violation attorney before you admit or deny the violations occurred. Depending on the original offense and the nature of the probation violation, admitting the violation occurred could result in the original sentence being executed. In other words, the stay of the sentence is terminated.

With Andrew & Poole, P.A. on your side protecting your rights and fighting for your future, you have a chance toward the best possible outcome in your case. You don’t have to face the case alone since doing so can lead to more serious consequences than you should have to pay.

If you or a loved one has been charged with violating probation, it’s important to have the proper legal representation in the case to ensure the best outcome. To learn more about how Andrew & Poole, P.A. can help you, call 218-722-1764 to request a free consultation.
