PROBATION VIOLATION
Criminal Defense Lawyer in Baton Rouge
Even if you have avoided jail time, you may be facing probation. While this might seem like an attractive alternative to going to jail, you still lose many rights and must carefully follow the probation instructions you receive. These rights may include having to abide by a curfew, maintaining employment, living in a certain place, and not leaving the jurisdiction in which you were sentenced to parole.

If you violate the terms of your probation, you risk facing further punishment, including jail time. Probation violations include traveling without permission of your probation officer, committing another crime while on probation, failing to report to scheduled meetings with your officer, and failing a drug or urine test while on probation. If you are arrested for a parole violation, it is important to hire an attorney who understands how probation works.
