Probation Violation
To challenge a probation violation, you’ll need solid legal advice from an experienced Tampa Bay attorney.
Sometimes a judge grants probation in lieu of jail time. When you receive probation and are assigned a probation officer, you must follow specific guidelines to stay in compliance with the terms of your probation. If you fail to do so, you could be taken back to jail.
The most common types of probation violations include:
- Failing a court-ordered drug test
- Not reporting to your probation officer
- Failing to complete community service
- Refusal to submit to a drug test
- Not paying probation fees
- Not completing court-ordered classes
After a probation violation, you may be required to serve your entire original jail time. Depending on the circumstances, you might even face additional penalties. If this occurs, you need legal representation from a Tampa Bay attorney who is experienced with probation violations.
Your attorney can help you challenge the probation violation. This is a different process from presenting a defense to your original charges, and you are not entitled to a trial by jury. You have less protection under the law and it’s your responsibility to prove your case. Often, it’s your word against the probation officer’s word.
With the help of your attorney, you can present a solid case to the judge so you have the best chance possible. When you hire Kemp Law, you can challenge the probation violation with the help of some of Tampa Bay’s most talented lawyers.
