PROBATION VIOLATIONS
If you have been convicted of a crime, you may be sentenced to probation.
Violating a term of probation may carry serious consequences, depending
on the nature of the violation. If you violated probation, you may need
to appear before the judge in a probation violation hearing. It is important
that you hire a lawyer to represent you in this hearing. Having an experienced
defense attorney can make a difference in the outcome of your case.
With
thousands of successful case results and a proven track record to our name, including probation violations,
our Merced probation violations lawyer has the knowledge and experience
to help you achieve a favorable resolution.
How We Can Help Your California Probation Violations
When convicted of a crime, the judge may impose jail time, probation, or both.
If you violated the terms of probation, the judge may impose consequences such as:
-
Revocation of probation and imposition of sentence: The judge may revoke your probation and impose the original sentence.
This may include jail time depending on the circumstances of your case.
-
Extended probation: The judge has the authority to revoke the defendant's probation and
reinstate a longer period of probation.
-
Counseling or other diversion programs: The judge may ask the defendant to attend rehabilitation or counseling
for drugs, domestic violence, sex, etc.
-
Reinstatement of probation with different terms: The judge may revoke the defendant's probation; however, reinstate
it with additional terms such as counseling, community service, etc.
Our experienced criminal defense attorney at Tenenbaum Law Firm can negotiate
alternatives to jail time, including those listed above. We will look
at the nature and severity of the probation violation. We may argue that
you were in substantial compliance with the terms of your sentence, and
that a technicality is not worth jail time. We will then work with you
to come up with a plan to present to the court to show that you will stay
compliant with your probation for the remaining term.
