Accused of Violating Probation? Contact an Attorney.
The probation system oversees many people in Florida who have been convicted of both minor crimes and who have served jail time for more serious crimes. While probation gives you certain freedoms you clearly wouldn't have in jail, it also involves strict supervision and restrictive conditions of release.
An alleged probation violation is a serious matter that can have long-term consequences, including imprisonment for a substantial length of time. If you've been charged with a probation violation, don't hesitate to contact me, experienced criminal defense lawyer Walter L. "J.R." Grantham, Jr., to arrange a free consultation at my office in Clearwater.
Representing Your Interests in Probation Violation Hearings
If you've been found in violation of the conditions of your probation, you are potentially facing serious consequences, including a jail sentence.
I have extensive experience helping clients challenge probation violations and, depending on your individual circumstances, I may be able to do so without a courtroom appearance on your part.
Even if you never spent a day in jail for the crime for which you were convicted, you may be facing a jail sentence that can be imposed if you are found to have violated the terms of your probation. It is extremely important to address these accusations with the help of a criminal defense attorney rather than just hoping they will go away.
Protecting Your Medicare and Social Security Benefits
Since January of 2005, if you have been found to have committed a probation violation, your Medicare and Social Security benefits can be suspended. This is a very serious consequence for people who may have believed there would be no further consequences for their probation violations.
If a probation violation is threatening to derail your right to disability, retirement and health benefits, don't hesitate to contact me to discuss what can be done to resolve the issue and restore your benefits.
