Understanding Probation Violation Charges
Unlike in other criminal proceedings, prosecutors do not need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you violated the terms of your probation. They simply need to show probable cause. If found guilty, a judge may sentence you to the maximum penalty for your original crime, or the judge may revoke suspended sentencing if that was the deal for completing your probation.
Do not face probation violation charges alone. You may end up saying something that can work against you.
Our Criminal Defense Lawyers Can Help
If you are under suspicion for violating your probation, an initial hearing will take place to assess whether there is probable cause. This hearing may be followed by a final surrender hearing to assess whether there is enough evidence to convict you of probation violation. An experienced criminal defense lawyer at Milligan Coughlin can represent your interests at these hearings. We will make sure your side of the story is heard and justly considered. Our efforts can help eliminate or minimize some of the penalties you face.
