St. Charles Probation Violation Lawyers
Helping You Avoid Harsh Penalties
When a person is convicted of a crime, probation is sometimes ordered in lieu of jail or prison time. Probation gives a person convicted of a crime another chance to continue their life, so long as they follow certain restrictions.
If you are accused of violating your probation, judges often look at the situation unkindly, imposing serious prison or jail sentences. Our St. Charles probation violation attorneys can help you if you have been arrested and accused of violating your probation agreement. With 65 years of combined experience, our goal is to protect you from incarceration and help you maintain your probation in good standing.

How Do Probation Violations Occur?
If you were accused of violating your probation, your probation officer will decide how to proceed. Should they decide to schedule a probation hearing, you should not go without representation present. Having an attorney on your side can help reduce the chances of further punishment and minimize the penalties you face. Should your probation violation accusation stem from another criminal charge, our firm is able to defend you in both cases.
A few common ways in which a probation agreement can be violated include:
- Failing a drug test
- Failing to report to a probation officer
- Failing to appear in court
- Driving under the influence
- Committing another criminal offense
- Failing to pay fines
- Traveling out of state
- Failing to complete required classes
