Violation of Probation NY

New York City Probation Violation Lawyers

Probation violations occur when the defendant fails to properly fulfill one or more duties as outlined in a probation agreement, generally issued upon release from jail, prison or a treatment facility or in the case of a conviction where probation was the penalty imposed by the court. Most often, a violation is brought about by the probation officer who is in charge of overseeing the length of the defendant’s punishment.

When a person is suspected of violating the agreement by failing to adhere to any number of requirements, like maintaining a job, appearing at a mandatory appointment, drug test or consorting with specific unauthorized individuals, the person may be arrested and face charges of a probation violation.

We represent clients facing criminal charges throughout all of New York, including Queens, Brooklyn, The Bronx, Manhattan, Rockland County and Westchester County.

If you have been accused of violating the terms of your probation, speak with a Queens criminal attorney as soon as possible to discuss your options. Just because you have been accused of a violation, this does not mean that you are guilty or should be found guilty. You have the right to due process to determine whether you actually committed the alleged violation. A New York City probation violation lawyer can provide legal counsel through these proceedings to protect your rights and interests.

The Importance of Fulfilling Your Probation Agreement in NY

Being allowed to continue with your life after being convicted of a crime instead of being incarcerated is not an automatic result. It is an opportunity to remain with your family, work and see friends while fulfilling your responsibility. Violating a term of your probation may have happened as a result of an accident, family emergency, or an honest misunderstanding. However it came about, a probation violation is a serious matter. The consequences if you are found guilty could include increased fines, more restrictive probation conditions or revocation of probation and a reinstatement of the original sentence. An established probation violation defense lawyer can provide a compelling defense to protect your future.

What happens when probation is allegedly violated in Queens?

Normally, the judge issues a bench warrant in the event that a violation occurs, which means that law enforcement would be obligated to pursue and arrest the person at any time when identified. Despite the fact that there may be a good reason for a particular violation of the agreement, law enforcement offers are not going to listen to your case. Instead, they will make your arrest and bring you to jail as per the requirements of the warrant. From there, you may spend several days in jail while awaiting trail where additional penalties may be imposed, or revocation of probation in situations where the defendant must fulfill a jail or prison sentence.
