Without the help of a good criminal defense lawyer, your chances of successfully fighting the charges are very slim.

Don’t let that bias stand in the way of getting fair justice. Get the help of an experienced Miami probation violation defense attorney who will stand by you and fight for you. Our team at The Hoffman Firm will do just that.

Conditions of Probation

The conditions of probation all depend on what is worked out with the court and judge. In general, probation means that a person is assigned a probation officer who they must meet with on regularly. This probation officer has the authority to check on them unannounced to ensure that they are not in violation of their probation.

Conditions of probation may include:

• Being prohibited from associating with any known criminals
• Attending court-ordered classes
• Attending regular meetings with a probation officer
• Registering your place of residence with the court
• Not being able to change residence without permission of the court

There are many other possible probation requirements, and any failure to carry them out exactly may find you in violation of the probation. This can result in having the probation revoked altogether or having additional penalties added.

Penalties for Violating Probation

If a person violates their probation, the court can:

• Reinstate your probation
• Modify your probation
• Revoke your probation

If the court revokes your probation, Florida law allows the court to then impose the maximum penalty for the charge you were placed on probation for.

Alternatively, upon violation of probation, a warrant may be issued for your arrest, or you may be required to appear in court.
