Probation Violations

If you have been convicted of criminal charges, you may be sentenced to probation, sometimes instead of jail time. Although probation may not appear to be as severe as jail, it should not be taken lightly. There are often many rules that you will need to abide by when you are on probation. Violating any of these rules can mean further consequences and additional jail time. That is why if you have been arrested for violating your probation, you need to reach out to the Law Offices of Pat Brown as soon as possible. Our legal team is here and ready to help protect your freedom and minimize your criminal consequences. 

What Is a Probation Violation?

When you are on probation, you will often need to abide by a variety of rules. If you do not follow these conditions, or if you get arrested, it can result in a probation violation. Many times these conditions include:

Consequences of Probation Violations

If you violate your probation, the punishment will depend on several factors, including the seriousness of the violation, whether you have any past violations, and whether there are circumstances that can worsen the severity of the situation. In Connecticut, if you fail to follow the conditions of your probation, your probation officer may return your case to court. If the violation is proved, you may be sentenced to jail, endure heavy fines, and even have your probation extended.
