Probation violation
Short answer: The Law Office of Jesse K. Sanchez lists probation violation as a practice area and says violations can include unpaid fees, missed appointments and new crimes, with a judge deciding the penalty[2].
What is probation?
Wikidata describes probation as court-ordered correctional supervision in the community, either a community sentence (an alternative to incarceration) or parole[1]. The firm says a judge may assign probation instead of incarceration and sets its length and rules based on the circumstances of the case[2].
What does the firm say counts as a violation?
The firm lists not paying court costs, probation fees or restitution, missing an appointment with a probation officer, committing a new crime, drinking alcohol or using drugs, missing required meetings, being around someone engaged in criminal activity and failing to complete community service[2].
How does the firm describe the process?
The firm says that if a probation officer suspects a violation, the officer files an affidavit that a judge must sign, the judge may issue a bench warrant, and a hearing is likely before the judge who handled the original case[2]. It says a judge who finds a violation has discretion over the penalty, which it says can include the backup time[2].
Who at the firm has probation-related experience?
The firm says Victoria Martz represented the State at hearings on alleged violations of probation, community corrections and work release, and later represented clients on alleged violations in private practice[3].
How does a person contact the firm?
The firm lists (317) 721-9858 for criminal defense matters[4]. These are the firm’s statements, not verified here, and not legal advice.
