Violation of Probation Defense Attorney Legal Services

A violation of probation may be alleged if you are accused violating the technical (or administrative) terms of your probation, or if you are accused of committing a new crime.

A Technical Violation of Probation involves failure to adhere to the administrative or special conditions of their probation such as:

• Failing to Report a change of address;

• Missing mandatory meetings with their probation officer;

• Failure to pay court costs;

• Or failing to complete court ordered classes or programs.

A Substantive Violation of Probation involves committing or being directly associated with a new crime or criminal act. If you are currently serving a period of court ordered probation and the violation of your probation was the act of committing a new crime,  even if you are found "not guilty" of the new alleged crime, the court has the authority to revoke your probation and reinstate the original conviction and sentencing guidelines. Unlike your original trial, in a violation of probation hearing, the prosecution must only prove that a "preponderance of the evidence" existed.
