Minneapolis Probation Violation Lawyer
Probation is a type of deferred sentence because it does not require that you actual serve all the jail time imposed in your sentence. Failing the strict terms of probation, however, can result in further legal trouble and may also result in the serving the entirety of a jail sentence. The criminal defense attorneys at the Brandt Criminal Defense law office realize that being charged with a probation violation causes high levels of stress and fear of having to serve a long jail sentence. Our attorneys are dedicated to helping you resolve any probation violation situation and will passionately fight to keep you out of jail.
Probation violation issues may include:
- Failing urine screening tests by testing positive for prohibited substances.
- Failing to abide by the law while on probation.
- Failure to pay fines/restitution or other fees.
- Failing to remain in contact with the probation officer.
- Violating the terms of a restraining order.
- And/or violating additional terms of the probation agreement.
