If you feel that you have been cited with a violation unfairly, you do have a right to a hearing in front of a judge. Our office routinely represents clients at probation violation hearings. In our experience, some probation officers are too demanding or are just unfair in how they are applying the terms of probation. We are all human. He has helped clients accused of both "technical" violations and "substantive" violations. Technical violations are violations like missing an appointment, not finishing classes or community service, or testing positive on a drug or alcohol test (technical violations can actually be very serious and can result in jail or prison). "Substantive" violations occur when someone on probation is accused of committing a new criminal offense. These types of violations are also very serious and can also result in harsh penalties. Mike is available for a free consultation. He will review your rights with you and he will explain how he approaches these types of cases.
