A violation of probation occurs when you fail to follow the conditions of your probation. Ways this can happen include but are not limited to: getting arrested, not contacting your probation officer, or violating a court order. If you fail to follow your conditions and a violation has taken place, your Probation Officer may return your case to court. There will then be a court hearing, and if a violation is proved, the judge has a couple of different options. Depending on the circumstances of your probation, the judge will either reinstate your probation or possibly sentence you to jail. In case of this event, it is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible to help you through the court proceedings.
