Probation Violations

If you are on probation, that means that the court has allowed you to either serve the remainder of your sentence on probation, or you were given probation instead of jail time. There are restrictions and rules that must be adhered to while on probation, and if any of these terms are violated, you will find yourself the recipient of a probation violation.

Some of the actions that constitute a probation violation are: doing drugs or any illegal substance, drinking alcohol, not reporting to your probation officer, getting arrested for another crime while on probation, or violating any other terms of your probation. Violation of any of the terms of your probation can make the court re-think whether or not they trust you to function as a trustworthy member of society.

Why hire Barney B. Gibbs as your defense?

Once the court has trusted someone with probation, it can be very hard to reinstate that probation if it is violated. Without a lawyer who fully understands the technicalities of a probation violation, you run the risk of receiving a more severe sentence, or even jail time. Why take the chance? I know what the courts are looking for and I know how to present it.

When dealing with a probation violation, you need someone who will fight for your rights with enthusiasm, knowledge and integrity. You need someone who will stand in your corner and exercise assertive behavior when dealing with the demands of the court. I understand the importance of being prepared. With 27 years of experience, I am not afraid to fight for you in situations that most attorneys refuse to deal with, and I recognize the difference between each court house in Orange County, and I have known many of the judges and prosecutors for years.

Many clients have difficulty reaching their attorney after the attorney has been retained. I advise each of my clients the best possible time to reach me, and I set aside time each day to be available to answer questions. I will always return calls by the end of the day.

Even though you are on probation, you still have rights, and it is my job to make sure that you get them. Just because you have been charged with a criminal offense does not make you a criminal, and it is not my job to judge you based on your guilt or innocence. By law, you have the right to an attorney. You have the right to hire someone who understands the law and your rights. If you want a tough attorney who will work hard to preserve your freedom, call Barney B. Gibbs today.
