New Jersey Probation Violation Attorneys
Probation is often part of a defendant's New Jersey criminal sentence. When probation is offered, the defendant is allowed to re-enter society after his jail term is completed (if there is one at all), provided he meet certain requirements which could include counseling, community service, physical labor, and drug testing. When probation is violated the consequences can be serious and include revocation of probation and jail time.
There are many ways to violate probation. They include, but are not limited to: failure to pay a fine, failure to appear in court, failure to comply with community service or counseling requirements, violation of rules, committing another crime or getting arrested again. It is easy to run afoul of strict probation conditions and your best avenue of defense is to contact one of our experienced New Jersey Probation Violation Attorneys to help represent your interests.
