A violation of probation can be a serious matter in the state of California and have major ramifications on one’s life. In California, the law defines probation as a “supervisory sentence” that is implemented as a substitute for incarceration.
In general, misdemeanor and felony cases are eligible for probation.
Those on probation must follow a strict set of guidelines and violating these rules will most likely result in a revocation of probation and imprisonment.
When probation is violated, what typically results in a probation violation hearing, in which a judge will determine if your new charges warrant additional incarceration.
It is essential at these hearings to be represented by an aggressive and experienced attorney to avoid further penalties.
