A Probation Violation Attorney Who Will Fight for You
When you have been convicted of a crime, the judge determines which punishments should be doled out. In many cases, probation is given to offenders on its own without jail or prison time. However, many offenders are able to receive probation after serving a partial sentence. During this period, you are expected to follow very specific rules and guidelines given by the judge.
Our Raleigh probation violation lawyers provide aggressive defense strategies. To learn how we can help, call (919) 845-6688 24 hours a day, 7 days per week to speak directly to an attorney.

What Is Considered a Violation of Probation?
There are many different ways you could violate your probation, depending on the terms of your initial agreement signed by the judge. In most cases, you are expected to follow the law and not get into legal trouble again during your probation period. However, there are many unpredictable circumstances which could lead to a false accusation or unavoidable situations, such as having no transportation to meet your probation officer.
The most common probation violations include:
- Failure to appear in court
- Failure to meet with your probation officer
- Failure to pay mandatory fees
- Failure to do community service
- Failure to pay restitution
- Committing a crime while on probation
- Possessing a firearm
- Failing a drug test
