Defense Attorney for Probation Violations

Defending Florida Clients Who Violate Their Probation

What is a probation violation?  When an inmate is released from prison because the person has served out their time or has been given parole (early release sometimes due to good behavior), then the person is put on probation once released.  A probation violation occurs when a person violates one or more terms of his or her probation agreement. One mandatory requirement may be that the defendant checks in with his or her probation officer once a month. A failure to report may qualify as a violation of probation and may result in the immediate arrest of the individual on probation, as well as other penalties.

When a person’s probation officer becomes aware that you have committed any type of violation or believes that you have violated probation, he or she will issue a warrant for your arrest.  Law enforcement, or your probation officer, will arrest you and bring you before the court. You will be entitled to a hearing to contest this violation because you have legal rights to due process.

There are many types of probation violations.  Following are some examples in Florida:  failure to report to your assigned probation officer, failure to appear in court, failure to attend court-ordered counseling, drug or alcohol abuse, associating with a known criminal or organization or arrest for a new criminal offense.
