Probation Violations

Have You Violated Your Probation Because You Could Not Afford Your Probation Fees? Many people do not know that you can arrange a payment plan for past-due monthly probation fees. As an experienced criminal defense lawyer, I can help you work with the system to have the fee waived, reduced or to set up a payment plan you can afford. If you think your probation is at risk, contact me as soon as you can — it is best to get help before you are charged with a violation.

Fighting Probation Violation Charges in Arizona

When you have been sentenced to probation instead of jail, it can be devastating to be accused of a probation violation. Your future freedom is at stake. You don't want to go to jail. Worst of all, your violation may have been unavoidable.

At the Arizona Law Office of Rachelle S. Ferraro, I have more than 10 years of experience fighting probation violation charges. I am certified as a criminal law specialist by the State Bar of Arizona Board of Legal Specialization.

If you are concerned that you may be charged with a probation violation or you are already facing charges, turn to an experienced criminal defense attorney. Call 602-795-0770 or contact me online to schedule a free initial consultation.

Preventing Being Charged With a Violation

Depending on the type of probation you were placed on, there are various types of violations, such as:

• Committing a new crime
• Missing a drug test, testing positive or diluted
• Drinking if your probation specified no alcohol
• Speaking with a person you were ordered not to contact
• Failing to complete counseling for any reason
• Getting behind on court fines, fees, restitution or community service
• Failing to pay monthly probation fees
• Removing any security monitoring device

Even when you have committed a technical probation violation, probation officers have some discretion about whether or not to violate your probation.

I helped clients resolve their probation issues before their probation is even violated. It may be possible to prevent the charges entirely, or at least minimize them.
