Probation and parole are legal alternatives to incarceration designed to supervise individuals while allowing them to remain in the community. Violations can occur through failure to comply with terms such as reporting requirements, curfews, or committing new offenses. Understanding these violations is crucial in mounting an effective defense.
Each violation case is unique and requires careful examination of the circumstances and evidence. Our approach includes investigating the facts, advising on possible defenses, and advocating for the least severe consequences within the scope of California law.
A probation or parole violation occurs when an individual fails to adhere to the conditions set by the court or parole board. This can include missing appointments, failing drug tests, or engaging in criminal activity. Violations can lead to hearings and possible revocation of probation or parole status.
The legal process typically starts with an alleged violation report, followed by a hearing to determine if a violation occurred. The court or parole board then decides on appropriate sanctions or continued supervision. Our firm guides you through every step, ensuring your rights are protected and all defenses are thoroughly explored.
