Defend Your Rights After a Probation Violation
Obtain Legal Counsel from Attorney Richard Ursha
If you have violated the terms of your probation, it will be crucial to speak with me as soon as possible. You have many protections under the law, including your right to remain silent and your right to obtain legal representation. As an experienced San Marcos criminal defense lawyer, I can investigate the matter and assess the allegations that have been made against you.
Because I personally represent every client who comes to my firm, my clients are always informed of what to expect whenever being investigated or going to a hearing or trial. I have experience as a former federal law enforcement officer and a special prosecutor. I specifically use my insider's knowledge of how judges, courts, prosecutors, and court staff work to give you a competitive edge.
What is considered a violation of probation?
When you fail to comply with a term of your probation, you can be charged with a probation violation. Because probation violation hearings can be complex proceedings, you will need the representation of an experienced and unrelenting attorney. I know what the prosecutors are looking for and can create a compelling defense strategy that can stand strong in a court of law.
Examples of probation violations include:
- Failure to report to your probation officer
- Failure to pass a drug or alcohol test
- Failure to pay restitution
- Failure to perform or complete community service
- Failure to complete a court-ordered program
