Accused of violating probation?

A probation violation can put your freedom at risk even when the alleged violation does not involve a new criminal conviction. If your probation officer has alleged that you violated the terms of your probation, a court may be asked to determine whether that violation occurred and what consequences should follow.

Many times, the consequences can vary based on the offense and the number of previous violations. Do not assume the outcome has already been decided.
