WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU VIOLATE PROBATION?

What if someone breaks probation? Are you automatically sent to jail? These are questions often playing on people’s minds in a probation situation. Probation violations happen when you break the conditions or terms of your probation. 

If you violate them, you will receive a warning or request to appear in court. In court, a judge will determine if the probation was violated. A sentencing judge will hear your case and decide what was violated. Get the help you need for probation violation with our team today.
