to do next, Kennedy & Dolan are here for you.
Make sure your rights are protected by
contacting a Rockville probation defense lawyer.
Normally, probation sets limits on a person to make sure that he or she
does not engage in criminal or destructive activity. Sometimes, probationers
may be required to report to a probation officer frequently or may be
required to obey restricted license laws for the duration of probation.
If you are uncertain whether you have committed a violation or feel that
you have been wrongly accused, it is crucial that you get legal counsel
on your side today. With 20 years of experience under her belt, Attorney

trials. You can count on her for all your legal concerns!

An individual can violate probation when they act contrary to the terms
that were set when they received their probation sentence. The terms of
probation vary depending on the person and the crime that he or she was
convicted of committing.
Some common reasons that individuals are charged with a probation violation include:
- Getting arrested for another offense
- Committing another crime
- Not appearing for a scheduled court appearance
- Failing to meet with a probation officer
- Possessing, using, or selling illegal narcotics
- Failing to attend rehab or support groups
- Not paying required fines or restitution
- Violating restraining orders
- Traveling out of state without permission
Why You Need a Criminal Attorney On Your Side
Violating probation is a serious offense. Typically, if you are arrested
for violating probation, your initial probation agreement will be immediately
revoked. Instead,
the court will impose a new sentence, generally a harsher one. This new sentence may include incarceration, additional fines, extended
probation time, harsher restrictions on probation, or other penalties.
