 Violation
of Probation Attorney (lawyer)
An accusation of a violation of
probation is a serious issue.
While it is not a new crime, if
proven, the underlying
conviction, and the sentencing
guidelines of that conviction
may be re-instated and enforced.
There
are two types of a violation of probation; Technical Violation
of Probation and Substantive Violation of Probation
Technical Violation of Probation
A
technical violation of probation is when an individual violates
the special conditions of their imposed probation. This not
involve committing a new crime. Common technical violations of
probation include:
-
Changing your address without permission;
-
Failure to pay court costs or fines;
-
Failure to appear for a probation meeting;
-
Being late to a probation meeting;
-
Failure to complete court-ordered classes.
Substantive Violation of Probation
A substantive violation of probation involves an
arrest or charge of a new crime. If convicted of the new crime,
the individual will not only face the sentencing of the new
crime, but also sentencing guidelines of conviction in which you
were awarded probation.
If charged with a new criminal charge, even if
you are found "not guilty" of the new alleged crime, the court
still has the discretion to revoke your probation and reinstate
the original conviction and sentencing guidelines. Unlike your
original trial, in a violation of probation hearing, the
prosecution must only prove that a "preponderance of the
evidence" existed.
