What is probation violation?
A defendant can commit violation of probation one of two ways. It is either a substantive violation, which means the accused has been arrested or charged with new criminal offense. Or, it is a technical violation, such as a missed a curfew, a failed a drug test, leaving the state or a failure to pay monetary obligations.
If you violated a probation order, there are a number of conditions and circumstances that may help or hurt your situation. After violating probation, it is often up to the probation officer’s discretion what to do next, but the right lawyer will negotiate your best options.
