Explaining Probation

Courts can sentence people to probation in addition to sending them to jail. When serving probation, you must regularly report to your probation officer. This person checks in on your progress and makes sure you are obeying the terms of your probation. There are rules that everyone under probation must obey. The officer may also make other demands you must follow.

Types of Probation Violations

Common types of probation violations include:

  • Failing to appear in court
  • Failing to secure regular work
  • Failing to pay court-ordered fines
  • Getting arrested for another offense
  • Failing to report to a probation officer
  • Taking trips out of state without permission
  • Going somewhere that your officer prohibited
  • Failing to meet court-ordered obligations, such as community service

Likewise, probation terms also have orders you must follow. For example, you are not allowed to possess a firearm, use an illegal substance, or leave the state. If you don’t follow the orders of your probation, your probation officer could report you have violated the terms of your probation.

The Probation Violation Process

If you’ve been accused of violating your probation, you can expect the following steps:

Wait for a Decision from your Probation Officer

Officers have a lot of power in these situations. They can essentially decide how to punish you for your alleged violation. They could have mercy on you and let you off with a warning, or they could suggest that you go to jail or prison.

Ultimately, the court will decide how to move forward, but it also trusts the officer’s decisions. It will usually favor their judgement and go along with their suggestions.

    “Dan is the man!”

    Got a referral from a friend. "Call this guy I heard he's good." With much skepticism I called.
    Dan did an excellent job for me. You will notice immediately he is smart, decisive, no nonsense and many more great qualities you want in a lawyer. It took very little time to see I just hired one of the best lawyers I've ever met.

    Professionally speaking, If you want somebody to tell you all the wonderful things that make you feel all fuzzy and warm its not Dan in my opinion.

    However, if you want a highly intelligent, brutally honest, focused, driven lawyer that will shoot straight every time AND go the extra mile to make sure no rock is left unturned... Dan is the man!

    - R. Wiseman
    “Dan put me at ease almost immediately with his knowledge and tenacity.”
    I was very nervous when I had to go to court over a traffic accident I was recently involved in. Dan put me at ease almost immediately with his knowledge and tenacity. By the time Dan was finished questioning the other people involved in the accident I did not even have to testify (which was the major source of my nervousness). My innocence was clear to everyone in the room, thanks to Dan. Would definitely use him again and recommend him to others. Aside from his performance during the hearing he was very easy to contact and always kept appointments with me. He also answered all of my questions patiently and with understanding.

    Mr. Miller and his team worked diligently on my case and I am forever truly greatly. It was a long process but with prayer and fasting, I had faith in Mr. Miller and his team to get the results that I prayed for. They were straight forward and very patient at the same time. My husband is the one who search for lawyers/attorneys and Mr. Miller was the first and only choice. I can't say enough how grateful I am for all your hard work and fight that you did behind the scenes. God bless you Mr. Miller and your whole team.
