Probation Violations

After being convicted of a crime many people are sentenced to probation.  Probation is literally a sentence where you are not required to spend the time in jail or prison.  The Court has discretion to also sentence you to many other terms of probation.  If all things go well the Defendant will likely never see his or her judge again.  When there is an allegation that the terms and conditions of probation have not been completed a probationer will very likely be brought back to court on a probation violation.  This can lead to a long jail or prison sentence.  

Probation violations result for the following reasons:

  • Failing to report to your probation officer or court
  • Failing to appear in court when scheduled
  • Failing to pay a fine or court fee
  • Failing to comply with a court order
  • Failing to submit to a mandatory drug test
  • Failing a drug test
  • Failing to complete community service
  • Committing another offense during your probation
  • Associating with other criminal offenders

Understanding The Role Of A Probation Attorney

Probation can provide individuals with a second chance to reintegrate into society after a criminal conviction. However, it comes with strict rules and conditions. Unfortunately, even minor slip-ups or misunderstandings can lead to probation violations, which can have serious consequences. That’s where a skilled probation violation attorney can make all the difference and why you should contact one today from The Lynch Law Group in Georgia.

The Consequences Of A Probation Violation

When you’re on probation in Georgia, you’re essentially under the court’s supervision and must adhere to certain conditions. Common probation terms include regular check-ins with a probation officer, drug tests, community service, and staying out of legal trouble. If you violate any of these terms, you could face severe consequences, such as:

  1. Reimprisonment: One of the most significant consequences of a probation violation is the possibility of being sent back to jail or prison to serve the remainder of your original sentence.
  2. Extended Probation: A judge may choose to extend your probation period, which means more time under supervision and additional conditions to meet.
  3. Harsher Terms: A probation violation can lead to stricter probation terms, making it even more challenging to complete successfully.
  4. New Charges: Committing a new offense while on probation can result in additional criminal charges, compounding your legal troubles.
  5. Loss of Opportunities: A probation violation can negatively impact your ability to secure employment, housing, or educational opportunities.
