New Jersey Probation Violations Attorney
Probation may be part of your criminal sentence and usually requires that the defendant take specific action including drug testing, community service, counseling, and reporting to a probation officer. If you are on probation, it means your criminal case was already resolved, but you could be back in court if there is a violation. At the Iler Law Firm, we offer experienced advocacy to protect the rights of clients who are facing probation violation hearings.
We offer free consultations 24 hours a day. Call 732-842-7787 or 866-403-2722, or you can contact us by e-mail to protect your rights.
Probation violation hearings
A probation violation is handled like a hearing, where a probation officer will come into court, make a statement that you failed a drug test or were arrested on another charge and request specific relief from the court. We will collect all necessary evidence for your case and present the facts at a hearing. We can also seek to try the matter if the grounds for the violation were questionable.
We are experienced in probation violations involving:
- Failed urine test
- Arrested while on Probation for another offense
- Violation of ISP (Intensive Supervision Program)
- Failure to pay a fine
- Failure to make a court appearance
- Failure to complete community service
- Breaking the law
Punishments for probation violations
Probation violations may carry severe penalties. You could find yourself facing additional charges or back in jail. We will inform you of your rights and take every necessary step towards an optimal resolution of your case. It is critical to work with an advocate who can argue in favor of your rights and demonstrate that you have been doing well. We focus not on your mistake, but what you have done right since you were put on probation. This could be a mitigating factor at the time of your hearing.
