Probation Violations

Probation Violation Services in Maricopa County, Pinal County and Pima County Superior Court as well as Surrounding City Courts.

When you are on probation, you are required to adhere to specific guidelines until your sentence has ended. When you violate any of the terms of your probation, you may face serious consequences. In fact, probation violations can even lead to time in jail or prison, depending on the circumstances. Because the consequences for a probation violation can be so severe, you need to hire an experienced attorney to defend you.

What to Expect

Regardless of your original charge, a probation violation can land you in hot water, possibly leading to an even harsher sentence than the original crime. Your probation violation will be a serious matter, even if you didn’t commit the original crime. It is also important to note that the standard of evidence required to prove the violation will be much lower than it was when you were facing your original charge, making it easier for you to be convicted.
