Probation Violation

Anderson, Greenville, Spartanburg, South Carolina

At the Dick James Law Firm in Greenville, South Carolina, we know that people make mistakes. We also know that people who have been placed on probation, are either in the process of, or have already paid for those mistakes.

When you have been accused of a parole violation, it is a very serious situation. You are taking a chance on facing the revocation of your probation, losing your parole or possibly going to/returning to jail.

Typical Violations

If you are on probation, you are well aware that any type of violation can cause you a lot of problems. You are also aware that if your probation is a known fact, it is extremely easy for someone to accuse you of a probation violation or the commission of another crime. It is then up to you to be able to prove your innocence and keep yourself out of further trouble. 

There are many ways in which you can be in violation of your probation terms and all come with severe consequences. Some typical violations include:

• Failure to check in with your probation officer as ordered
• Testing positive for alcohol or drug use
• Failure to pay probation fees as ordered
• Failure to pay restitution as ordered
• Contacting the victim of your conviction case
• Being arrested or convicted of a new offense

Your Defense

The majority of people that have been placed on probation are there because they have either already paid for their offense, or because they are being given a chance to prove they should not be punished more severely. In most cases, the last thing someone on probation wants to do is get into further trouble.

If you have been accused of a probation violation, it is important that you work with an attorney who knows the laws and is skilled in minimizing the consequences you may face. At the Dick James Law Firm, we treat our clients like members of our own family. This means we will give your case the personal attention required to provide you with the best defense available.

We will also provide you with all relevant information about your situation and present the choices and results available to you concerning your situation. You deserve the opportunity to tell your side of the situation and to attempt to reduce the consequences you must face as a result of your probation violation.
