Violate Your Probation?
I hear judges say every day that the fastest way to go to jail or prison is to violate your probation.
Boy, they aren't kidding.
I have seen ordinary, simple first-offender, non-violent cases mushroom into prison sentences all for violating minor conditions of probation.
And forget about having a right to bail when you are charged with a VOP or violating House Arrest.
But there is another way.....Attorney James G. Souza III treats Violation of Probation cases like legal emergencies because they often require an immediate response to a critical situation.
No bond - Persons who violate probation or house arrest are taken to jail and can wait there for weeks before their cases are heard. Worse yet, people who were not originally convicted could become convicted felons even for minor probation violations.

If you ever needed a lawyer on your side, now is the time. The Florida Legislature has enacted tough laws against people who have been found violating conditions of their probation or community control.
The judge may have given you a break when you were originally sentenced in your case. However, a violation of probation or a violation of community control could erase that sentence and send you directly to jail.
