Probation Violation

After a person has been convicted of a crime in New York, he/she may be sentenced with a variety of legal penalties, which may include probation.  Probation is often sought after by defense attorneys on behalf of their clients because probation allows the person to return to his/her home and life without having to spend any time in jail. 

When a person is placed on probation, he/she must make it a point to comply with every term of his/her probation.  One common term is checking in with a probation officer on a regular basis.  If a person fails to comply with the terms of his/her probation, or if he/she commits another criminal offense while on probation, he/she can be charged with probation violation.

People who are charged with probation violation face further legal action and consequences.  For example, a person who violates the terms of his/her probation may have his/her original criminal sentence reinstated, which could mean jail time or additional monetary fines.  A person’s length of probation may also be extended and the terms could become more restrictive. 

Due to the serious legal penalties that are involved, and impending legal action, it is always wise for a person to retain the services of a New York criminal defense attorney after he/she has been charged with probation violation.  If a lawyer gets involved immediately, the lawyer may be able to work with the prosecutor and judge, which can lead to lesser legal consequences.  A probation violation attorney can also contest further criminal charges and protect the person’s future well-being.
