Cobb County Probation Violation Defense Lawyer

Probation Violation Charge in Marietta Area?

Probation is a common penalty for a DUI conviction. For a first DUI conviction, you may be ordered to serve one year of probation. While on probation, you are required to adhere to the restrictions placed on you. This usually includes community service, a risk reduction program, fines, and in some cases a clinical evaluation. If you fail to adhere to the restrictions placed upon you, such as not paying your fines or never completing the risk reduction program, you can be charged with a violation of probation. In such a case, you are in danger of having the full sentence you initially avoided applied in your case. This could mean that you would spend up to a year in jail, may have your license suspended plus additional time for the probation violation. If you have been arrested for a probation violation, you are strongly advised to contact a Cobb County DUI lawyer right away.
