In many cases the courts view probation or parole as a gift to a defendant, and when one of the terms of the defendant’s probation or parole is violated, it is not taken lightly. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to understand what the terms of probation are exactly, or you can commit a violation that is beyond your control. Hiring an defense attorney in Lansing to look over the exact details of your alleged offense could help you protect against additional or enhanced penalties, which could include extended punishment or incarceration.

Always speak to an attorney as soon as possible if you are accused of violating the terms of your probation or parole. While you may not believe your actions to be serious, your parole officer could take action to extend your punishment or put you behind bars, and even a small violation reported by your officer could land you an increased sentence.
Depending on your unique case, the terms of your parole or probation will vary. Some terms that are commonly violated in Michigan include failing to remain employed or in school, failing a drug test or alcohol test, failing to attend court-ordered meetings, missing probation or parole officer appointments, missing a court date, being charged with a different crime, leaving the state or moving without permission from your officer, and other similar violations.
If you are accused of any of these offenses, you may face a probation violation hearing, and you will need an experienced Lansing criminal defense lawyer on your side. Contact Grabel & Associates now to learn more about our aggressive criminal defense strategies and how we can help you in your Michigan case.
If you are accused of violating a term of your probation or parole and lose your violation hearing, you could face numerous penalties. In some cases, your parole or probation will be suspended, or reset, which could lead to additional years of restricted freedom. In some cases, it is possible that you will be sent to jail and will not be allowed to continue with parole or probation. It is very important that you begin working with a defense lawyer as soon as you can, as the early stages of your case will be critical later on. Prosecutors and probation officials will be working to gather evidence that could result in harsh criminal punishment, and only by fighting back alongside an experienced attorney can you be sure you are thoroughly protected.
