Probation Violations

If you suspect that you or your loved one has violated your probation agreement, contact a Raleigh criminal lawyer immediately to avoid going to jail.

If you violated any of the following requirements, you may have violated your probation:

• Missing a scheduled meeting with your probation officer.
• Changing/quitting jobs without approval.
• Changing residences without approval.
• Missing a scheduled drug testing, failing a drug testing, or refusing a drug testing.
• Missing assigned coursework like anger management courses.
• Possessing illegal weapons or firearms.

Our Raleigh Criminal Attorney Provides Strong Defense

Depending on the terms of your probation and the circumstances of your probation violation, a judge may decide to:

• Modify your probation with more restrictive or specific terms.
• Continue your probation sentence as is with no changes.
• Terminate your probation successfully.
• Terminate your probation unsuccessfully.
• Sentence you to jail time, a rehabilitative program, or jail alternative.

A probation violation does not necessarily equate to criminal activity. If a client is fired from a job for instance and is trying to find employment, a lawyer can help you petition the judge for more time to find work. A member of our team of Raleigh criminal lawyers will work diligently to investigate the specifics of your probation sentence and work with the judge to minimize any punishment.
