Understanding Probation Violations: What You’re Up Against

There are several ways you can violate probation in California, and the consequences you face depend on the severity of the violation and the discretion of the court. Common probation violations include:

  • Failing to Report to Your Probation Officer

    Missing scheduled meetings or check-ins with your probation officer can result in a violation.

  • Failure to Pay Fines or Restitution

    Failing to make court-ordered payments can lead to a probation violation.

  • Committing a New Crime

    Being arrested or convicted of a new offense while on probation can lead to immediate probation revocation.

  • Failure to Complete Court-Ordered Programs

    If you were ordered to attend a DUI school, anger management, or other rehabilitative programs, failure to complete them is considered a violation.

  • Traveling Without Permission

    Leaving your designated jurisdiction without your probation officer’s approval can result in a violation.

Even minor violations can result in serious consequences, which is why it’s critical to have a skilled attorney like Kersey Law on your side to defend against these allegations.

Consequences of a Probation Violation

A probation violation in California can trigger a range of penalties, depending on the nature of the violation and whether it’s a technical violation (such as missing a probation meeting) or a substantive violation (committing a new crime). Consequences may include:

  • Extended Probation Period

    The court may add more time to your probation, requiring you to adhere to the conditions for a longer period.

  • Harsher Conditions

    You could face stricter probation terms, such as additional community service, house arrest, or an ignition interlock device.

  • Jail Time

    In more serious cases, you may be sentenced to jail for part or all of the original sentence that was suspended as part of your probation.

  • Probation Revocation

    The court may revoke your probation entirely, forcing you to serve the remainder of your sentence in jail or prison.

Kersey Law Can Help You Minimize the Consequences

At Kersey Law, we take probation violations seriously and understand the impact they can have on your life. Our team works diligently to build a defense that helps minimize or avoid these penalties. In some cases, we can negotiate with the court to avoid jail time or probation revocation altogether.

Warrant Defense: Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late

An active warrant can disrupt your life, leaving you in constant fear of being arrested at any moment. Whether the warrant was issued due to a probation violation, failure to appear in court, or a new charge, it’s crucial to address it head-on rather than waiting for law enforcement to come to you.

Types of Warrants in California

In California, there are two main types of warrants you may be facing:

  • Arrest Warrants

    Issued by a judge, these warrants give law enforcement the authority to arrest you and bring you before the court to face charges.

  • Bench Warrants

    Issued when you fail to appear in court or comply with a court order, such as paying fines or attending mandatory classes.

Regardless of the type of warrant, you need a strong legal defense to handle it properly and avoid unnecessary consequences.

Types of Warrants in California

Ignoring a warrant can result in serious legal problems down the line, but Kersey Law can help resolve the issue before it escalates. Here’s how we can assist:

  • Negotiating with the Court

    We can work with the court to quash (cancel) the warrant or negotiate your surrender under favorable terms, helping you avoid immediate arrest.

  • Preventing Jail Time

    In many cases, we can arrange for you to appear in court voluntarily, reducing the likelihood of being taken into custody. We also fight to keep you out of jail by securing bail or release on your own recognizance.

  • Building a Strong Defense

    If the warrant is tied to a probation violation or new charges, we’ll immediately begin building a defense strategy to challenge the underlying accusations.

Steps to Take If You’re Facing a Probation Violation or Warrant

If you’re facing a probation violation or know there is a warrant out for your arrest, the most important thing is to take action immediately. Waiting or ignoring the issue will only make things worse. Here are the steps you should take:

  • 1. Contact Kersey Law Right Away

    The sooner we start building your defense, the better your chances of a positive outcome. We’ll work quickly to assess your situation and begin developing a strategy to defend your rights.

  • 2. Do Not Ignore the Issue

    If you have a warrant, law enforcement can arrest you at any time, often without warning. Ignoring a probation violation can lead to a warrant being issued, resulting in further complications.

  • 3. Gather Any Relevant Documents

    If you’re accused of violating probation, gather any documents that support your case, such as proof of payments, receipts from court-ordered programs, or any communication with your probation officer.

I had a free consultation with Nathan. From the start, he was honest and said he did not think he was right person for my case as it was a federal matter. Even though Nathan knew I would not be using his services further, he still took the time to help me find someone who could assist me with my case. He was very kind and took his time when explaining everything to me, and gave me hope by pointing me in the right direction. If I ever need legal help I will definitely be coming to him!

Felony Carjacking
When our client walked into our office, the stakes couldn’t have been higher. Charged with carjacking under Penal Code 215, with allegations of personal infliction of great bodily injury and the use of a knife, he faced an uphill battle. On top of that, four aggravating factors were in play, threatening to make him eligible for the maximum sentence of 16 years and 8 months in prison. Adding to the complexity, he had another case that could have added two more years if found guilty.

Attempted Murder, Shooting at an Inhabited Dwelling, Firearm-Related Offenses
As a criminal defense attorney, I often encounter cases that test the very fabric of justice. One such case involved a young male client facing serious charges, including attempted murder, shooting at an inhabited dwelling, and various firearm-related offenses. The severity of these charges meant that my client was looking at a potential life sentence, with an additional 20-year firearm enhancement, leading to a daunting prospect of over 30 years to life in prison.
