Have You Violated Your Probation?
If you pled guilty or no contest to a misdemeanor or felony violation in Los Angeles or the San Fernando Valley, you were likely placed on probation. Essentially, probation is a conditional sentence allowing you a second chance. Probation sentences may offer a person to avoid substantial jail time. In every probation case, there are orders from the court to complete certain conditions, as well as to obey all laws and orders of the court. These terms can include meeting with a probation officer on a regular basis, attending court ordered counseling, wearing electronic monitoring devices, and refraining from future criminal activities. If any terms of probation are violated, you can be accused of a probation violation, which can result in incarceration.
The Los Angeles District Attorney, City Prosecutor, or judge can allege a probation violation in court, and request that bail be set. When a probation violation is alleged, the accused must promptly appear in court to answer the accusation.
At a probation violation hearing, the judge will review the court orders, as well as the alleged violations of probation. The judge takes into consideration the extent of the violation, as well as related information. Minor violations may be addressed with less serious punishment, depending on the terms of probation. However, commission of a new criminal offense can result in significant jail time.
