Probation and parole violation

Probation and parolea are part of a criminal sentence. The person serves probation or parole instead of serving time in jail, or as part of his or her sentence. The individual must meet requirements that can include:

• Drug and alcohol counseling
• Community service
• Drug testing
• Financial restitution

A violation occurs when the individual fails to comply with the terms of the probation or parole. Violations can include:

• Failed drug test
• Failure to pay criminal restitution or fine
• Failure to appear in court
• Failure to perform community service
• Failure to participate in drug or alcohol counseling
• Committing another crime
• Getting arrested

A person who violates the terms of probation or parole will need to appear at a hearing. Attorney Ronald J. Brandmayr represents people who have been charged with a violation and must attend one of these hearings.
