A probation officer may be quick to believe you are guilty simply because you were convicted for a criminal offense in the past. By working with a defense lawyer, you will have a legal professional on your side that can work the system on your behalf. You have rights and are entitled to the due process of the law, and your lawyer can help ensure that this occurs.

Probation Violations in Virginia

A probation violation is a serious matter in that the probationer has been trusted to follow specific terms of his/her probation, including: staying in communication with one’s probation officer, not committing additional criminal offenses and not associating with known criminals. Using drugs or alcohol may also be prohibited if the original charge involved DWI or a drug crime.

An individual accused of violating the terms of his/her probation may face jail time and re-sentencing for the original offense, usually with harsher penalties than he/she would have originally faced.
