In the event that you have been charged with violations of your probation in Florida, remember as you look for a lawyer. Carlson & Meissner is ready to stand up for your defense if you have been charged with violating your probation on the West coast of Florida. To discuss your legal options after a violation of probation arrest, contact us.
A Violation of Probation is a New Criminal Charge in and of Itself
When you are on court ordered probation and do not meet the requirements set forth by the Court, you may be charged with a violation of probation (VOP). It is important to understand that a violation of probation is a NEW criminal charge in and of itself. The VOP will appear on your record in addition to your original charge or charges.
Serious Consequences of a Violation of Probation
Violations of probation can have very serious consequences. If a defendant is convicted of a violation of probation, the Court will almost always consider a jail sentence for the violation. If, for example, you are given a random drug test by the probation officer to whom you are assigned and you test positive for drug use, you may be handcuffed and arrested on the spot.
Protect Your Rights
If you think you have violated your proabion, it is never too early to consult with an attorney. Your attorney should work to intervene on your behalf with the office of probation and parole, the State Attorney's office, and the courts to protect your rights and possibly prevent incarceration.
