Terms to Follow During Your Probation

Our experienced trial lawyers have handled a broad range of criminal cases, including a number of probation violations. Some of the most common probation terms that the court requires you to follow may include:

• Mandatory community service
• Court ordered counseling
• Regular check-ins with your probation officer
• Completion of a drug or alcohol program
• Maintaining a job
• Paying all court ordered fines and restitution
• Not possessing a weapon
• Not possession illegal drugs
• Complying with random home and car searches
• Appearing at all court hearings
• Keeping away from designated individuals
• Not driving on a suspended license

This list is not comprehensive and there may be other terms and conditions that you are expected to follow throughout the duration of your probation period.

Penalties for Probation Violations

If the court finds you guilty of committing a probation violation, you may be at risk of losing your freedom. In these types of cases the court can do any of the following:

• Extend your probation sentence
• Add additional terms and conditions to your probation
• Arrest you on the spot and bring you before the court
• Impose additional jail time

Keep in mind that if you receive a notice to appear in court for a probation violation hearing and you fail to appear, then you could have your probation revoked completely and be sentenced to go to jail or prison. If your probation is revoked, a warrant is usually issued for your arrest. If you have a warrant you can be arrested at any time.
