Probation and Parole

Probation and parole are both serious circumstances requiring serious treatment. Individuals who fail to abide by the terms of parole or probation can face revocation, arrest, imprisonment, and more.

Read on for more information on Atlanta probation and parole violations and your legal rights:

Potential pitfalls for those on probation and parole include failing to report to a probation officer; failure to follow a probation officer’s instructions; failure to appear in court, complete required community service or pay fines; or new offenses committed by the individual who was paroled or placed upon probation. All of these situations can result in extremely serious consequences including revoked parole or probation, in which you are held without bail until your case is brought before the court. Your arrest could lead to even more charges against you – charges that could increase your prison time served, if any, and reduce your chance for probation and release in the future.

Though some people willfully violate their probation and parole agreements, many others do not realize they are doing so. However, their story may not fly with their probation officer or the officer who picks them up while on parole. Furthermore, prosecutors and judges feel an imperative to strongly enforce existing probation and parole laws in order to send a message to others who might not take these special circumstances seriously. In order to make a convincing case and prevail in court, you will need an experienced and aggressive Georgia criminal defense attorney who understands the law and can mount a persuasive case on your behalf.
