Dayton Probation Violation Defense Attorney

Have you facing a probation violation?

Probation is often levied as an addition to a prison sentence for serious crimes, and, in some cases, is levied in lieu of a jail sentence. Generally, there are restrictions, conditions, and requirements that are included as part of the probationary period. What keeps the restrictions, conditions and requirements effective and productive is the threat of imprisonment should these be violated in any way. Some of the probation violations that can occur are:

• Failure to keep appointments with your probation officer or maintain contact
• Possession of a firearm
• Associating with a known criminal
• Failing to notify probation of a change of address or employment
• Violating a protective order
• Failing to report for a drug or alcohol test or failing the test
• Failing to maintain requirements of a substance abuse program, or other type of mandated program
• Being arrested on a new charge
