Chicago Probation Violations Attorney

The Repercussions of Violating Your Probation

Judges award probation as an alternative to jail time to those individuals who can be shown to pose no threat of repeated offense in the future.  Also if an individual acts as a vital member of society in general or provides much needed support to their family or friends in the form of help or wages, that individual will probably receive probation instead of going to jail.  The terms of your probation depend heavily upon the nature of your offense. 

Common probation requirements may include mandatory drug tests, counseling sessions, community service, gainful employment, and paying fines among other things.  Failure to honor the terms of your probation can have serious consequences including serious jail time.  Violating your probation can constitute anything from simply missing a counseling session or forgetting to check in with your probation officer to failing a drug test or committing another crime.  If you have violated the terms of your probation it is very important to seek the legal counsel of a qualified Chicago criminal defense attorney to avoid facing serious repercussions.  A skilled and knowledgeable attorney can assess your situation and the circumstances surrounding the violation and then negotiate either new probation terms or the reinstating of the previous terms.
