If you have been placed on probation as a resolution to a criminal case or DUI case or even traffic offense, you must adhere the all of the court ordered requirements that the judge placed upon you. You may have agreed to these probation terms in a plea agreement, or they could have been placed upon you by the judge themselves, or some combination of the two. Either way, if you fail to comply with the terms of your probation, it will be deemed a violation of your probation, and it will trigger a probation violation hearing to determine whether or not you actually did violate probation, and if so then you will face the consequences, of either a back up jail sentence or a conviction or both, or another consequence. A probation violation hearing is a serious accusation and you need to take the matter seriously and give immediate attention to the matter to avoid the consequences that were earlier avoided. There may or may not be a warrant for your arrest when the probation violation is filed with the court, and our Miami probation violation attorney can do best to help you with that situation as well to avoid being in jail while your probation violation case is pending.

What is Probation and a Probation Violation?
Probation is a special status that a judge can grant to a person that prevents them from having to serve jail and prison time should they abide by certain conditions that are general to all criminal cases, and also specific to your individual case to address certain specific concerns that are related to the nature of the criminal act you were charged with and plead guilty on, in order to make sure that the public is safe should you not be in jail where the judge would know the public would be safe.
A probation violation is an action that violates one or more of the terms of your specific probation order. This could be anything from failing to report to your probation officer as directed, to not paying fines, to not participating in classes or counseling, or in making contact with a victim or witness in the underlying case. These are only some examples of a probation violation, as there are many more terms of probation and thus possible violations of probation that could apply to your case out of Miami, or at another court.
If you have been violated by your probation officer or the district attorney, you should contact a Miami Dade criminal defense lawyer to help defend against your probation violation and help you at the probation violation hearing. Attorney Kevin Wichman can help you avoid the potential consequences of a probation violation and either win your hearing to help you avoid jail or other consequences or negotatiate another resolution to avoid a violation and keep you on probation as opposed to going to jail.
Types of Probation Violations
There are two types of probation violations:
- technical violations – these are situations where you did not follow through properly with the terms of the probation.
- substantive violations – these are where you are discovered to have committing a new crime or violation of the law while on probation.
Both of these situations are serious and can cause you to have violated probation. An experienced probation violation attorney can help with both these situations, and our attorney can help for any of these situations to still try to help you avoid being violated in Miami. Give us a call at (305) 317-1529 for a free consultation.
