If you’re currently on probation and your Probation Officer is threatening to violate you, do not walk into court unrepresented. Probation officers have a tremendous amount of power. Even though you are entitled to a trial for a probation violation, your Probation Officer makes the determination as to whether or not to violate you. Once you are at trial, the presiding judge will put great weight toward your Probation Officers suggestions as to the terms of your punishment.

Once you make it all the way to the day of your Probation Violation trial, there will undoubtedly be hostility between you and your Probation Officer. A Criminal Defense Lawyer can assist you by acting as a liason and working between you and your officer.
