In many cases, the court grants probation in lieu of serving a prison sentence. In order to avoid the jail sentence, the individual must comply with the terms of probation. If these terms are violated, the court may attempt to impose the original sentence on the individual.
Types of Probation Violations
In many cases, the individual was unable to report to his or her probation officer due to extenuating circumstances.
- Administrative errors,
- a drug test failure,
- being arrested and charged with another offense,
- failing to pay fines on time,
- failing to complete court-mandated treatment programs while on probation
or other situations can lead to charges of violating probation.
What are the Penalties for Violating Your Probation?
Anyone charged with a probation violation is in danger of losing certain rights and their freedom. If you are found guilty of a probation violation, the court may punish you severely and you may be forced to serve the sentence you avoided by going on probation, with added time for the violation.
If the individual is found to have violated his or her probation terms, a warrant will be issued with their name on it. There are still many effective tools available to you that you can utilize to greatly lessen your chances of serving jail time for your violation. It is urgent to get defense counsel immediately, preferably before being picked up by law enforcement and incarcerated.
Defenses for Probation Violations
In such cases, it is imperative that you have someone at your side fighting to keep you out of jail. Severe illness and other issues arise in life and you should not have to go to jail because you were genuinely unable to report.

Grimes is the best defense lawyer you could ask for. He was able to take what would generally be a felony for sure and get it down to a misdemeanor and a fine. If you have him as your lawyer, you won't have anything to worry about.
