Probation Violation Lawyers Lewisville, TX   

Have You Been Charged With a Probation Violation? Contact a Texas Attorney

Allegations of probation violations must be taken seriously. If you are found to have violated any terms of your release, your probation can be revoked and you could end up serving your full sentence in jail. You need a lawyer who will fight for you, explain your side of the story, and search for ways to lessen the consequences of violating your probation.

At a probation violation hearing, you do not have a right to a jury trial and the prosecution need only prove the violation by a preponderance of the evidence (as opposed to the higher "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard normally used in criminal trials).

The attorneys of Julian, Crowder, & Shuster, P.C., will work to identify the best available strategy to defend you against allegations of a probation violation. Contact our office today for more information.

Qualifying for Bond and Getting out of Jail

You can face immediate arrest if a probation violation is discovered. Without an attorney, you could sit in jail for as long as it takes for an appointment before the court. As a probation violator, you are not eligible for a recognizance bond. At Julian, Crowder & Shuster, P.C., we can work with the court to either get bond posted for a client or have the amount reduced if one is already in place.

Don't Assume the Authorities Have Forgotten About You

Take action now to avoid more severe problems later. If you've used drugs, failed to report or committed any other violation of your probation, contact our office immediately. Don't take chances and assume you won't be called in for a drug test or be caught violating the terms of probation. Penalties are almost always less severe when you cooperate with the court. For peace of mind, contact the law office of Julian, Crowder & Shuster, P.C., in Lewisville, Texas.
