Violation of Probation
If you have been charged with a parole violation, contact The Law Offices of Tony Zirkle immediately. An experienced Indiana federal criminal defense lawyer may be able to assist you in your case. Whether you are accused of violating your probation by breaking a “technical” term or condition, or it by committing a new crime, our experienced attorneys will aggressively defend your case. A “technical” violation may include changing your residence without prior approval, failing to pay fines or restitution, or failing to report for regularly scheduled visits with your probation officer.
If you are accused of a “technical” violation, your probation officer may choose to warn you instead of filing an arrest warrant. Some misdemeanor probation officers (with the Salvation Army) will give you a notice to appear for court, without filing a warrant for your arrest. However, all probation officers have the authority to officially violate your probation and file a warrant, if they so choose.
An experienced attorney at The Law Offices of Tony Zirkle can help in several ways. When there is a bond, an attorney can help arrange your surrender to the jail, when there is no bond, they can help arrange your surrender to the court, setting a bond for your release. An attorney can also work to keep law enforcement from actively seeking you on the warrant, once you have made a commitment to surrender.
An attorney can also investigate, negotiate and litigate the violation charge to your best advantage; preparing the case for trial at an evidentiary hearing, if needed. However, violations are often settled by plea bargain, without the need to face the risk and uncertainty of trial. In this event, an attorney’s advice can help prepare you to present the most positive image to the court; thereby maximizing your potential for a successful settlement.
