Probation Violation, CONDITIONAL REPROBATION, NO STATE PRISON TIME

June 18, 2014
Probation Violation/Surrender
Client was a bright young man who required representation for a probation violation. He had several violations. His violations included multiple positive drug screens—meaning he used drugs in violation of his contractual agreement. He also failed to appear for probation, and additionally, while he was waiting for his final probation surrender, he was charged with another probation violation of assault and battery inside the jail. After months of discussions, the judge said he would release the defendant with conditions. Client stayed in jail for nearly four months—but in the end avoided a lengthy state prison sentence and was released from custody.
Result: CLIENT REPROBATED, with Additional Conditions. NO STATE PRISON TIME.
