Probation Violations Probation Violation Lawyers in Phoenix, Arizona. Probation violations can be very serious for number of reasons. People who are on probation and fail to follow the terms of the probation may face time in jail, or even prison. The person accused of violating probation usually will be facing the same punishment that they could have received for the crime that they were originally accused of committing. In some cases, that could be years in prison. It is important that someone who is facing probation violation charges understand the seriousness of the charge and the process involved. It is not relevant whether the person actually committed the original charge, only whether there was a violation of the terms of probation. Moreover, the burden of proof on the prosecutor is not beyond a reasonable doubt as it was with the original criminal charge, but simply a preponderance of evidence, which is a much lower standard. Our criminal defense lawyers can represent you as soon as you learn that you are being charged with a probation violation. We will work to understand the basis for the probation violation charge, and the reasons why there may have been noncompliance. We will make every effort to explain the circumstances to the prosecutor even before the probation violation hearing, to try to resolve that matter without having a probation violation hearing. In other words, we will work to try to get you a second chance even before the probation occurs. If we are unable to do that, we will defend you at the probation violation hearing, and challenge any evidence introduced by the prosecutor. Examples of common probation violations include:
