Probation Violations

Skilled Help From A Minnesota Probation Violation Attorney

Protecting your rights while you are on probation

There’s no such thing as a get-out-of-jail-free card. Even if you’ve served time or avoided prison through probation, being on probation can lead to consequences for which you are unprepared. You need to fully understand the terms of your probation and your rights if you violate them, even if by mistake. I have been a Brainerd probation violation attorney for more than 25 years and have successfully handled innumerable probation issues. If you are facing a violation hearing, I can help you, even if I didn’t handle your original case.

Helping You Avoid Or Amend Probation Violations

Terms of probation are different for everyone. But violating probation can result in severe consequences no matter what your original crime was. Minnesota statutes allow the court to revoke probation in a number of circumstances, including:

  • Failure to check in with your probation officer
  • Violating the terms of a restraining order
  • Failing routine urine or drug tests
  • Arrest for another criminal act
  • Drug or weapon possession
  • Failure to pay fines or other fees
  • Failure to appear at required court hearings

Even a single violation can land you in trouble. I am Minnesota probation violation lawyer Dennis M. Lothspeich, and I clearly explain the steps you need to take to either admit or deny the violation and what happens next. If a hearing is necessary, I am right by your side to protect your legal rights through each stage of the process.
