Probation is a term of conditional court supervision for individuals who have been convicted of crimes. If you are on probation in the state of Florida, you are expected to comply with all terms established by the court. Depending on the nature of your offense, you may have specific terms such as refraining from the use of alcohol or drugs, avoiding contact with certain people, or requirements for reporting to a probation officer.

Violating any conditions established in your probation can result in significant criminal penalties. Probation is considered a privilege in the state of Florida, not a right. As such, probation violations can subject you to serious penalties, including a revocation of your probation for a sentence in a jail or prison. Even something as seemingly simple as violating probation for a first-time DUI can result in up to 180 days in jail.

Probation Violation Cases We Handle

Florida law outlines the rules and procedures of criminal probation, or community control, and how courts must handle violations of probation. In order to prove that a person violated their probation, prosecutors must be able to establish a standard of proof that the allegation not only occurred, but also that it was willful and substantial in nature.

There is certainly opportunity to defend against probation violations, especially if the consequences are severe, but doing so demands the attention of experienced defense attorneys. Our legal team is backed by attorneys who have decades of collective experience and the ability to handle all types of probation violations, including technical violations and new law violations.

Common examples of cases we handle include:

New offenses while on probation
Positive drug or alcohol tests
Not completing a court-ordered class or program
Missed appointments or meetings
Not paying financial obligations, including fines and fees

Probation violations can vary from case to case, as conditions established by a court can be tailored to the unique situation of the convicted individual involved. For nearly anyone on probation, however, picking up a new charge not only results in consequences for that new charge, but also a probation violation. In these cases, working with an attorney is critical to fighting against elevated penalties.
