If You Have Been Accused of a Probation Violation
If you have been accused of a probation violation, you may experience an especially difficult time protecting your rights and your freedom. Prosecutors are often very hard on people who have allegedly violated their probation. The way they view things, you have been given a chance and have failed to do the right thing.
Of course, as an experienced criminal defense lawyer, I know that this is not true. There are many reasons why people violate probation, and many of them may be beyond their control. At The Law Office of Cary L. Lackey, P.C., I stand by my clients in Court to help them achieve the best possible results.
Reasons for Probation Violations
Probation violations often arise as part of a new charge, but sometimes other reasons cause the probation violation, including:
- Failing to attend drug education classes
- Failing to pay the fees associated with your probation
- Failing to report to the probation officer
- Failing to report a change of address, required of some individuals convicted of certain sexual offenses
- Getting a positive urinalysis or positive alcohol tests
Many times people on probation get their probation violated by being charged with a new offense. They are best served by working with an attorney who understands how to handle a new case with the probation violation in mind. It often takes skillful legal work to make sure that one does not negatively impact the other.
