Probation Violations

Probation Violation Defense Lawyers

Probation is an alternative or adjunct to a jail or prison sentence. Some sentences allow defendants to completely avoid incarceration through completing probation and other requirements. Probation offers others the opportunity to return to the community in a supervised manner after serving a jail sentence. Probation is different from parole, which is conditional release from prison after serving all or part of one's sentence.

If you received probation rather than jail or prison time for a criminal offense, your attorney probably worked very hard to help you retain your freedom. A probation violation once again puts you at risk of incarceration.

Don't Put Your Liberty at Risk

If you have been accused of a probation violation, please contact an attorney at the Blumenthal Law Offices in Riverside, California, as soon as possible.

A probation violation doesn't automatically mean you are headed for jail or prison.

Our attorneys can negotiate alternatives to incarceration, such as extension of probation, or participation in substance abuse programs, or alcohol treatment, counseling, or community service. We will look at the nature and severity of the probation violation. We may argue that you were in substantial compliance with the terms of your sentence.

We will seek to assure the court that you will comply with the remaining terms of your sentence. Whether you are accused of violating the terms of a formal or informal probation program, you should have an experienced criminal defense attorney advocating in your best interests. To discuss the specifics of your case, please contact the Blumenthal Law Offices for a free consultation.
