Typical Reasons for a Probation Violation

An Aggressive Probation Violation Defense Attorney Can Help Minimize Your Sentence

If you are facing a probation violation in the Denver Metro Area, you need immediate help from an aggressive and experienced criminal defense attorney to help minimize any consequences. The Law Office of Andres R. Guevara, a Denver Criminal Defense Attorney, offers assistance and advice in cases involving probation violations for reasons including:

• Failure to complete a court-ordered drug, alcohol, theft, or domestic violence program
• Failure to report for your probation officer
• Failed or "hot" urinalysis (UAs)
• Failure to pay court ordered fines and/or restitution
• New criminal charges (whether misdemeanors or felonies)
• Failure to maintain a residence or employment

Far too often, defendants are too willing to plea quickly in the hopes that they can get the case over with. However, I work diligently to argue on your behalf in favor of a lesser sentence or to contest the allegations of a probation violation. Depending upon the allegations, resolving your case may simply be a matter of presenting a compelling defense of why the alleged violation occurred and arguing that a jail sentence is not an appropriate action.
