A proceeding for violation of probation is very unlike the proceedings involved with new crimes. Because you have already been sentenced to probation, you have less rights than if you were charged with a new crime.
The Orlando Law firm of The Orlando Criminal Attorney will commit their resources in helping any client in his or her violation of probation proceeding. We posess professionalism, knowledge and experience and always maintain the strictest level of confidentiality with our clients.
There are two types of probation violations. Technical violations of probation include: altering your address without permission, missing probation meetings, failing to complete court ordered classes, refusing to pay court costs or fines or being late for probation meetings. Substantive violations occur when you commit a new crime.
If you are found guilty of violation of probation by a judge, they can restore, amend or cancel your probation.
Definite innocence, complete compliance or the failure to prove (inadequate evidence) violations are our main lines of defense in a probation proceeding. We are prepared to fight to keep you out of jail and moving toward a satisfactory outcome as quickly as possible. Contact us for a free initial consultation with an Orlando criminal defense lawyer.
