Are They Threatening to Send You Back to Prison?
Getting a sentence of probation doesn't mean you beat the system. The truth is, probation usually comes with extremely tight restrictions. Breaking a single provision can mean a revocation hearing to determine whether you should be incarcerated for the remainder of your sentence.
If you are charged with a crime and probation is likely to be the best possible outcome, make sure you understand what is expected of you. It is important that your defense lawyer is as much an advisor as an attorney. We are very experienced in finding alternative ways to help you stay on probation.
If you are accused of breaking the terms of your probation and a revocation motion has been filed, you don't have the benefit of making them prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. The court only needs to see a preponderance of evidence in order to revoke your probation. Your attorney needs to know how to work with you and the court to find a mutually satisfactory solution.
We work closely with our clients to pursue the best possible outcome. That often means helping you understand what to do that will help you avoid a jail sentence now, and while you are serving your term on probation.
If you have been sentenced to probation and are facing a probation revocation hearing, talk to us immediately. We will work aggressively with the court to fight for your freedom and keep you out of jail. We are ready to show you how to restore your probation and fulfill its terms.
