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.
Let Us Defend You Against This Charge
To be charged with probation violation, the prosecution must provide evidence of the crime. Likewise, the violation must have been intentional or caused by severe carelessness. Mistakenly violating your probation is a common defense your attorneys might use. Let our skilled Virginia Beach criminal defense lawyers use their over 25 years of legal experience to help your case.

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.- Client

Call Dan Miller now - you need look no further for the best divorce attorney in Hampton Roads. Divorce is not an easy situation but it is even worse if you do not have good representation.
I was in the midst of a divorce and my case was with a firm that was not representing me fairly and not answering my questions. I was at a loss and dreaded going to court. Then a friend told me of Dan Miller. I wish I had found this firm in the beginning! From the first hour of turning my case over to this office I stopped worrying. I knew I had made the right choice and my case was in good hands. Dan Miller was professional, and he fought for me and I was very happy with the way he handled my case. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

I hired Mr. Miller initially for a bond hearing . I decided to retain his services for the case itself . I was facing two felony charges as well as a failure to appear charge . While there were witnesses that were able to identify me, I walked out of Virginia Beach Courthouse with only a misdemeanor thanks to Mr. Miller's representation . I work in the healthcare profession and expressed to Mr. Miller the importance of avoiding a felony charge and he made it happen. I am forever grateful and will highly recommend him . Mr. Miller will always represent myself as well as family members if need be in the future . Again thank you Mr. Miller for using your knowledge to keep me from being a convicted felon and also saving my career.- C. Dickens

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!
