Probation Violations

Southern California Probation Violation Attorney

Avoiding Enhanced Penalties and Jail Time

If you messed up and failed to comply with terms of your probation, you face the possibility of revocation of your probation and reinstatement of the original sentence, perhaps with additional penalties. To avoid the worst outcome, you should retain an experienced criminal defense attorney.

You can contact Daniel L. Greenberg, P.L.C. of Riverside, California 24 hours a day to arrange a free consultation. We have a record of success in probation violation hearings, representing clients of Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles and Orange counties. (Sorry, we do not handle parole violations.)

Probation Violations: We Can Help

There are two scenarios that can lead to probation revocation:

(1) Failing to comply with terms of your probation
(2) An arrest for new criminal charges

Although the possible consequences are severe, I want you know there is hope of a positive outcome. Contact me as soon as you are ordered by the court to appear at a revocation hearing. We can take many steps prior to the hearing to improve your legal position, including:

• Re-establishing contact with your probation officer
• Paying fines or restitution
• Completing community service requirements

In the worst case scenario, a judge will revoke probation, impose the original sentence and tack on an additional jail term. We make every attempt to avoid jail time, arguing for extended probation, electronic monitoring, community service, or other alternatives. If you or your child is charged with a new crime, we can vigorously fight that charge to minimize the impact on your probation status and any new penalties.
