Probation Violations

Colorado Criminal Attorneys: Probation Violations

Instead of initially serving a sentence in prison or jail, many judges place you under the supervision of a probation officer. At times, that person is unreasonable and oppressive. At other times, you have a good probation officer but circumstances beyond your control result in a complaint for the revocation of your probation. Since you are now facing jail or prison again, you need someone who believes in you to defend you.

Common Causes of Probation Revocation Complaints

We realize that the failure to pay costs and fines is not always your fault. You may have lost your job or had extraordinary medical expenses. Contact with a protected person may be alleged, but sometimes incidental contact cannot be avoided or predicted. You should not be held responsible when the contact is not your fault. Restitution payments can amount to thousands of dollars. It is simply not practical that you are being asked to pay too high a percentage of your wage toward restitution. Sometimes a person’s living expenses or income changes and the probation officer is not willing to consider this real-world event. The commission of a new offense will usually result in a revocation complaint being filed. You have not violated your probation however, IF AND UNTIL you have been convicted of that new offense. Probation officers are notorious for not being available when you call to tell them of a sickness or a transportation issue. Then, when you fail to appear for a probation meeting, you are treated as if you simply did not show up. Sex offender probation is very difficult, and many of the asserted violations by you are not your fault, but a failure to communicate between your treater and your probation officer.

Contact us if You are Not Ready to Give Up - Jail is not the Only Option

Once we have dissected your revocation complaint, we will mount an aggressive defense, knocking out many of the counts against you. In the end, if you do have some counts that are proven to the court, we can often have probation reinstated, provided you accomplish some heroic steps prior to the revocation hearing. We will consult with you and our team of treatment experts to build a track record of success prior to your revocation hearing. These efforts will show the District Attorney and the judge that you are worthy of another chance at probation, and that you are not a danger to the community. With a well thought out and implemented plan, you have more options than jail or prison.

"Not all probation revocation complaints are granted. Not all that are granted result in jail or prison."

Put Truth and Justice on Your Side

Your probation violation charges may be unfounded, unfair or based on a probation officer's subjective point of view. Your own lawyer ― your advocate ― is the most qualified to speak up on your behalf and work to protect your rights. Your probation officer's job is that of a watchdog or gatekeeper for the government. He or she is accountable to the courts. By contrast, your defense attorney is accountable to you and your needs.
