Defense for California Probation Violations

A probation violation is an action that violates the terms of an individual's probation. Probation may be granted in particular criminal cases in order to replace part or all of the defendant's jail or prison sentence, but during this time the defendant must abide by certain rules. Failure to appear in court, violation of a restraining order, failure to pay a fine, criminal activity, drug abuse, alcohol abuse and association with known criminals are all examples of potential probation violations.

Fortunately, a person accused of a probation violation has the right to a hearing. Having the representation of a lawyer at this hearing will be essential. A lawyer will be able to represent your side of the story and work to disprove the allegations you are facing so you can avoid serious criminal penalties.

San Diego Warrant Attorney

An arrest warrant or bench warrant may be issued for your arrest in different circumstances. For example, being implicated in a crime (such as domestic violence, for example) may result in law enforcement obtaining an arrest warrant based off physical evidence and witness testimony. A bench warrant may be issued for violations against the court, such as a failure to appear in court or a failure to pay a court-ordered fine.

The best thing to do in the presence of an arrest warrant or bench warrant is to consult an attorney and face this situation head on. In some cases, a skilled warrant attorney can help you avoid arrest altogether.
