Probation Violation
If your probation has been violated your liberty is at risk! You need an attorney who can zealously defend against the State’s efforts to incarcerate you.
Probation Violation
In Connecticut you do not have to do much to be charged with violation of probation. If you are on probation you know that the Office of Adult Probation and your assigned probation officer looks at every move you make. A conviction for a minor motor vehicle infraction or a missed probation appointment is all you have to do to be charged with violation of probation (VOP). When you are facing a VOP charge the state wants you to go to jail to finish serving the unsuspended portion of your original sentence. Don’t risk going to jail!
If you are charged with VOP you are not entitled to a jury trial and the prosecutor does not have to prove you that you are guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
You are entitled to a hearing. At this hearing the prosecution must prove that you violated your probation by a preponderance of the evidence. Volz Legal Group will work hard to present evidence in your favor to avoid a finding by the Judge that you violated your probation.
In the event that you admit to a probation violation or are found in violation of your probation after a hearing, you will not necessarily go to jail. You are entitled to an additional portion of the hearing before a judge. At this portion of the hearing a skilled attorney can effectively advocate on your behalf. Effective advocacy by Volz Legal Group can mean the difference between your freedom and spending time in jail.
