About Probation Violations

If a court previously gave you a Suspended Imposition of Sentence (SIS) or Suspended Execution of Sentence (SES) for a criminal offense, your probation will most often be set for a revocation hearing if you are believed to have committed a new legal violation or a failure to comply with previously existing conditions of probation.

The following are examples of potential probation violations:

  • Violating an order of protection
  • Drug or alcohol use
  • Associating with known criminals
  • Failure to complete community service
  • Failure to complete mandatory counseling
  • Failure to pay fines or restitution
  • Committing a new crime
  • Failure to report to probation officer
  • Failure to complete mandatory drug/alcohol testing

Challenging Probation Revocations in Chesterfield, St. Louis & St. Charles

If you have received notice of a probation revocation hearing, the important thing to remember is that your probation has not been revoked yet! At the revocation hearing, the court will likely hear from both the state and also your probation officer, if your probation was supervised, before deciding whether or not to allow you to continue on probation.

If your probation is set for a revocation hearing, it is critical that you are represented by a competent St. Louis criminal defense lawyer at that hearing in order to help provide the judge with complete and accurate information, and to ensure that you have the best opportunity to remain on probation. Probation revocation hearings are incredibly serious matters because the consequence of revocation is often jail time.

If your probation is set for hearing, call (314) 309-2799 today and let us defend your interests.

    Mr. Cavanagh was very patient in dealing with all of the difficulties of my case. He was pleasant to work with to get the child support and custody worked out in a way that was fair. He showed real concern for the welfare of my son. He was professional in guiding me with regards to counseling and getting my sons voice heard throughout the case as well. Lastly he was thorough in that he went through the original divorce decree and made sure I received what I should have gotten during the divorce. I would recommend Mr. Cavanagh as well as use him again in the future.
