What Is A Violation Of Probation (VOP)?

 

Successful completion of a probation or community control sentence can be very difficult as you can violate for numerous reasons. A Violation of Probation is classified one of three ways: 1) A New Law Violation, i.e., a new criminal charge 2) A Technical Violation, i.e., failure to complete certain terms of probation such as not completing community service hours, failing to report, or positive urinalysis results 3) A combination of both new law and technical violations.  In all cases, the State is required to prove that you willfully and intentionally violated the terms of your probation.  At Virga Law Offices, P.A., our Panama City, Florida Violation of Probation lawyers will vigorously defend your case, make the State prove the allegations against you, and not simply allow our clients to be bullied by an overzealous prosecutor or judge.

 

Should I Be Concerned?

 

YES! The consequences of a violation of probation can be numerous.  First and foremost, if a violation of probation has been alleged, and the violation has been submitted to the Judge, in most cases you will be held without bond.  As such, unless a motion for a bond is filed and a hearing held, you will remain incarcerated in the county jail until your case has concluded. 

 

If you are convicted of a violation of probation, you will face the possibility of incarceration in prison for a felony violation of probation, or incarceration in the county jail for a misdemeanor violation, rehabilitation in a state facility, extended time on probation, additional court costs and fines, additional community service hours, being adjudicated as a felon, being placed on house arrest, forced to wear a GPS monitor, or numerous other possibilities.
