Defending Clients and Getting Them Back on Track
After being charged with a criminal conviction, an alternative to facing jail is to be sentenced to a probationary period. This timeframe is a sensitive "testing" period involving collaboration with an assigned probation or parole officer and where any violation will ultimately revert to a jail sentence. During probation, some of the necessary requirements will commonly include:
- Maintaining beneficial employment
- Staying with the jurisdiction
- Keeping appointments with assigned probation or parole officer
- Taking and passing scheduled urinary analysis drug screening tests
- Participation in required drug or alcohol abuse prevention programs
- Timely payment of probation-related fees
Failure to comply with the requirements put forth by the probation or parole officer, such as moving and not providing a new address, failing a drug test, receiving a DUI or committing a new crime while on probation leads to additional legal consequences.
If you have violated your probation or parole it is necessary to seek legal representation to help protect you from facing a jail sentence.
