Jacksonville Probation Violation Lawyer
Probation is a legal sentence imposed by the court that allows the offender to live in the community under the supervision of a probation officer instead of serving time in jail. It’s a way to offer individuals a second chance, allowing them to demonstrate good behavior and commitment to rehabilitation while still facing certain restrictions for a specified period.

We can meticulously examine your case, the probation terms, the nature of the alleged violation and gather supporting evidence to formulate a robust defense strategy.

Potential Consequences of a Probation Violation
The consequences can be severe if you are found guilty of a violation.
These can include:
- Revocation of probation: This is one of the most serious consequences. If found guilty, the judge could revoke your probation entirely, resulting in you having to serve the remainder of your sentence in jail or prison.
- Extended probation: The judge might extend your probationary period instead of revoking your probation.
- Additional fines: You may be required to pay additional fines as a penalty.
- Community service: The court may order additional hours of community service as a penalty.
- Mandatory counseling or rehabilitation programs: If your violation was related to substance abuse, you might be ordered to attend counseling or a rehabilitation program or be subject to random drug testing.
- Stricter terms: The court may impose stricter probation terms, such as more frequent check-ins with your probation officer.
- Loss of privileges: This might include loss of driving privileges, loss of the right to own a firearm, or other orders restricting specific actions.
