VIOLATIONS OF PROBATION

PROBATION VIOLATION ATTORNEY ST. JOHNS COUNTY FLORIDA

If you believe that your probation officer is going to accuse you of violating your felony or misdemeanor probation, you need to contact an experienced attorney to assist you. St. Augustine Attorney Ryan Albaugh is ready to discuss with you all of the things you may need to do right now to help him protect you against the allegation and try and keep a warrant from being issued.

Typically, after a probation officer makes an allegation of violation of probation (VOP), the judge will sign a warrant for your arrest. The arrest warrant for a violation of probation usually has a “no bond” provision, meaning that unless you retain an attorney to resolve your case quickly or obtain a bond, you may be sitting in jail for weeks or months until your case is brought to court. If your friend or loved one is currently in jail contact the criminal defense lawyers at the Albaugh Law Firm today so we can start working to protect their rights and get them released.

Attorney Ryan Albaugh knows the system and how to maximize the likelihood of getting a bond set so you, your friend, or loved one can get out of jail. He will contact the people the Judge wants to hear from and file a motion describing why justice demands setting a bond.

Whether the alleged probation violation(s) involve a new crime or a technical violation (such as a dirty drug test, or failure to pay fees, do community service, or report to the probation officer), St. Augustine Attorney Ryan Albaugh will conduct a thorough investigation to determine if the prosecutor can prove the allegations. The nature of the violation(s), the strength of the evidence against the probationer, the number of previous violations, and the quality of the attorney fighting for the probationer will determine the ultimate outcome of the case. Having an attorney on your side aggressively protecting you can mean the difference between being home with your family and sitting in jail wondering if you will have a home to return to.

If you or a loved one is facing a violation of probation, contact the Albaugh Law Firm today for your free initial consultation.
