Under the terms of probation, you know very well that there are certain restrictions and requirements. These could include submitting to random drug testing, avoiding contact with certain spurious individuals, routinely reporting to a probation officer; and above all, don’t get involved in any other criminal activities!
Probation is supposed to be a benefit NOT more jail time. If you don't uphold the terms, judges can impose the entire sentence that was avoided through probation, adding time for the violation. No two judges will handle these cases exactly the same way, but one thing is certain – you need a lawyer to advocate for you.
When you or a loved one is faced with a probation violation call veteran San Jose Criminal Defense attorney William Chestnut. Bill has decades of experience dealing with probation violators in the State of California. Arrange a meeting at Attorney Chestnut’s office located in San Jose by calling (408) 298-6990.
