Violation of Probation
Violations of Probation have serious implications because the probationer's supervising probation officer can obtain arrest warrants for allegations of a violation of probation, even if those allegations only involve technical violations (such as failure to report or pay). Once a probationer is arrested on a probation warrant, he or she is incarcerated in the jail with a "hold," which keeps him or her from being released, even if no other charges are pending. Holly Hogue routinely files Motions to Lift Probation Hold seeking pre-hearing release on behalf of her clients. When such efforts are unsuccessful, Holly often continues to file motions and make demands for the probation case to be heard in court.
Probationers charged with new misdemeanor or felony offenses face prosecution on the new charges, but also face probation revocation, the basis being the new offenses. Coordination of the defenses is important and must be addressed early on, as probation officers are trained to attempt to obtain incriminating information from their probationers and then testify against against them later.
Even if a probation warrant has not yet been taken, hiring Holly before that happens can be enormously advantageous. This is so because Holly can contact probation officers on behalf of her clients and assist with efforts to keep the warrant from being issued or served. It is always best to at least consult with a lawyer when you believe that your probation officer may seek a warrant, if you believe that you may be in danger of failing a drug screen, or if you may otherwise fail to satisfy any condition of probation. Holly Hogue provides free initial consultations and keeps all information confidential.
