If a defendant is convicted of a criminal offense, he or she may be ordered to pay fines, participate in community service, be placed under probation, or perform other conciliatory tasks for his or her actions. If you have been placed on probation and have violated the order call our experienced Boston Criminal defense lawyers for a free consultation. Our Criminal Defense Lawyers at Altman and Altman LLP have assisted and resolved many cases where a defendant has appeared to violate his or her probation.

Probation is the releasing of someone who is convicted of a criminal offense into the general public but under the supervision of a probation officer. The conditions that the defendant may be ordered to abide by when placed under probation can be many in number and complex in nature.

A probation violation occurs when any one or more of the following conditions are not met:

• Attending scheduled meetings with your probation officer;
• Being arrested during the length of your probation;
• Attending a treatment program as requested by your probation officer;
• Possessing illegal drugs;
• Carrying a firearm; or
• Leaving or moving out of the current state in which you reside.

The lawyers at Altman and Altman LLP realize that in today’s increasingly fast-paced and demanding society, it may be difficult to meet each and every condition, which leaves defendants highly susceptible to violating their probation guidelines.

If you have been charged with a probation violation, you will be scheduled to attend a probation violation hearing and will be considered for further punishment or, in worse cases, imprisonment. Our Boston Criminal Lawyers at Altman and Altman LLP, who are also highly experienced trial attorneys, can assist you by representing you in court, whether you have been correctly or incorrectly convicted of your offense. Our attorneys will always strive to get you the best outcome possible, which is to ultimately resolve you from your probation violation, with conditions that best serve your interests.
