Probation Violations Can Result in Lengthy Jail or Prison Sentences. The Fort Lauderdale Law Firm of Lawrence B. Wolk & Associates Defends those Allegations Alleged in a Violation Report and Will Protect Your Rights.
If you've been convicted of a crime and your sentence is probation – a period of time in which you remain in the community, but still under the jurisdiction of the court. You are to comply with all the terms and conditions of the probation, which were explained to you by the Judge and the Probation Officer. If you are found to be in violation of the terms and conditions of the probation and the Judge finds that the violation is "Wilful and Substantial", then you maybe sentenced to incarceration or other penalties, which the court has the discretion to impose. If you commit a new law violation, but that charge is ultimateley dismissed, the Judge can still find that there is a violation of probation. Certain conditions of your probation may include, but are not limited to checking in with a probation officer at appointed times, having certain restrictions applied to your residence, submitting to random drug and alcohol testing, performing community service or maintaining employment, as well as the payment of restitution and fines and court costs.
You can be arrested and charged with probation violation when you fail to live up to one of the technical terms of your probation, or if you are arrested for committing another crime, then pickup the phone and call The Law Offices of Lawrence B. Wolk & Associates at 954-568-6900.
