At a Violation of Probation (VOP) proceeding, the state no longer has to prove whether you committed the original offense for which you are on probation. You're no longer entitled to a jury of your peers. Your judge will decide whether a violation has occurred. We will research the circumstances that led to your conviction and devise strategies to defend against your alleged probation violation.
The penalties for probation violations are serious. If your probation is terminated for even the most minor technical violation, you could be sentenced to be incarcerated for the maximum amount of time allowed by law for the charge that originally resulted in your probation. For example, if you received six months' probation for a plea of no contest or guilty to a third degree felony such as burglary, you could be sentenced to a maximum of five years in prison if you are found to have violated the terms of your probation.
Serious consequences require immediate action. If you believe that you are subject to an outstanding warrant for a probation violation, or your probation or community control officer is investigating you, contact us in Panama City immediately at 850-230-5550.
