Probation Violations

While being on probation is preferable to being locked up in prison or jail, being on probation presents its own set of challenges and disadvantages. Many individuals who spend time on probation end up facing a probation violation.

Probation violation issues may include:

  • Failing urine screening tests by testing positive for prohibited substances.
  • Failing to abide by the law while on probation.
  • Failure to pay fines/restitution or other fees.
  • Commission of a new offense
  • Failing to remain in contact with the probation officer.
  • Violating the terms of a restraining order.
  • And/or violating additional terms of the probation agreement.

A probation violation may trigger a number of penalties. The severity of these penalties depends on a number of factors including the type/extent of the violation. Some penalties include:

  • Additional fines
  • Additional jail time
  • Extension of the length of probation
  • And/or additional penalties to be decided at the time of sentencing.

It does not matter whether we handled your original case or not, we can seek to get you released from jail while we work to resolve your case. Our goal will be to minimize the damages and try to get you back on track so you can continue probation.
If you have been accused of violating the terms of your probation in Minnesota, Chuck Halverson Law Office can help. If you deny to the courts that you violated your probation an evidentiary hearing will take place. During this hearing the state must prove with convincing evidence that you violated the term of your probation. If your probation officer claims you violated your conditional release terms you should contact a criminal lawyer immediately to properly prepare your defense strategy with our law firm.

Protecting Your Legal Rights
You do have rights when you are on probation. These rights can be properly represented in your defense by a criminal lawyer. These important rights include:

  • The right to a hearing
  • The right to present evidence on your behalf
  • The right to present witnesses
  • The right to cross-examine witnesses
  • The right to have an attorney represent you and your interests
