A probation violation can quickly cause many setbacks and end up with you appearing before the judge that sentenced you for additional penalties to be handed down. Before this happens, however, there are steps you can take to help your situation.
As a seasoned Boise criminal defense lawyer, I know how to help clients who are facing parole or probation violations take these proactive measures to protect your future. At my firm, I value client input and I make sure to work with my clients so they understand and take an active role in their case. To learn more about my practice and how I can help you, please schedule a free initial consultation at my Boise, Idaho, office today.
Proactive, Persuasive Defense Counsel
First, I will reach out to your probation officer to learn more about the alleged violation and see what action can be taken to minimize the consequences and what evidence led to the violation. As a probation violation attorney in Boise, Idaho, I know how important it is to learn as much information as soon as possible for a state or federal probation violation.
I can also help you show the judge that you are taking the appropriate steps to correct your actions. It is extremely important to be proactive in this matter, whether it is enrolling in AA, NA, drug treatment or submitting to random urine testing in an effort to show you are taking sobriety seriously, and that you are acknowledging the problem and source of your unacceptable behavior, especially if the violation results from new charges related to drug offenses or a DUI.
Additionally, if you are facing theft charges, before the judge prescribes it I can enroll you in an anti-theft class in an effort to show you understand the severity of the situation and want to make amends. Proving you are committed to remedying a wrong without being told to do so can be a crucial component.
My goal is to minimize the consequences and prevent your probation from being revoked. I will work hard to convince the judge to give you a second chance or accept a sentence reduction for your efforts to remedy your behavior. I will look to present every option available that the judge or parole board might accept instead of revoking your probation or parole.
Take the first step and contact me today to explore your options and see what action can be taken to help your situation. I offer free, confidential consultations.
