Florida Probation Violation

Is there a warrant out for your arrest?

Do you need an attorney to get a warrant withdrawn?

If you have been charged with violating the terms or conditions of your probation, choosing the right Florida criminal defense attorney is a matter of crucial importance. Consider your alternative. Your probation will be revoked, and your original charge may carry a lengthy jail or prison sentence.

What to Expect

If you are on probation in the state of Florida, you must register with the authorities if you move to another city. If you do not register or you commit another crime, you must go before the ORIGINAL sentencing judge. If you are caught, you could be sitting in jail with no bond for months, waiting to be transferred to your original sentencing county.

If you want to know whether you have a warrant, we can find out for you. We can also negotiate setting a bond before you turn yourself in. Because you do not have to worry about the time it takes to transfer, we can often spare you months of jail time.

We can also aggressively defend you in court. Once you turn yourself in, you appear before the original sentencing judge. The judge then decides, based on a greater weight of the evidence, whether your probation violation was willful and substantial.

If you hire and experienced criminal attorney, you will know what is ahead of you. Having a qualified lawyer on your side also ensures a better result than if you faced the court alone. For more details, contact our offices. We would be happy to answer your questions.
