A probation violation charge can have serious and long-lasting impacts if improperly handled.
Depending on the conditions of probation it may be extremely easy to violate them through:
- Providing a "dirty" urine analysis
- Violating interlock provisions
- Scram violations
- Missed appointments
- Delinquent fees
- Delinquent court costs
- Failure to complete service hours
- Failure to comply with counseling requirements
- Failure to comply with random urine analysis
Depending on circumstance, a probation violation can result in extended time on probation, or worse, a trip back to jail. If you or someone close to you has been charged with a probation violation, it is important to reach out to an attorney immediately to stay out of jail and keep serving your existing time on probation.
