Tampa Probation Violation Defense AttorneyLawyer for Violation of Probation Charges in FLIf you are found guilty to violating your probation, the judge may sentence you to the maximum penalty for the crime you were convicted of. It is imperative that you contact a quality Tampa criminal attorney from O’Brien Bower, P.A. to defend your case. There are two types of probation violations you may be accused of, technical violations and substantive violations. A technical violation occurs when someone has failed to follow the conditions of their probation. A substantive violation occurs when someone commits a new crime while on probation.
The proceedings for probation violations are much different than normal trials. Because you have already been convicted of the crime, many of your constitutional rights do not apply to these proceedings. You are not protected from testifying against yourself. You have no right to trial by jury. You cannot seek bail while waiting for your hearing. Hearsay is admissible in the court. Your guilt does not have to be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. Lastly, there is no statute of limitations to the crime. As you can see, it is of the utmost importance to only hire a Tampa probation violation defense attorney with experience defending clients in these types of proceedings. Contact our Law OfficesDon’t risk further consequences by not hiring a quality lawyer. If you have been accused of violating your probation, contact the law offices of O’Brien Bower, P.A. to schedule your free initial consultation with an experienced Tampa probation violation defense lawyer.
