Protecting your rights while you are on probation

If you have been convicted of a crime and were given probation as part of your sentence, you are responsible for meeting the terms of that probation. If you violate those terms, even by mistake, you could end up serving the rest of your sentence in jail and face other tough penalties. At the Law Offices of James Newton, PLLC, we have more than 60 years of combined experience as probation violation lawyers in Seattle and across the state. If you are facing a violation hearing, we can help you, even if we didn’t handle your original case.

Responsive probation violation attorneys in Seattle

Terms of probation are different for every case. But violating probation can result in severe consequences for anyone, regardless of the original crime. In Washington State, probation may be considered violated if you:

Fail to report to your probation officer Miss a deadline or fail to appear at required court hearings Fail to pay fines or restitution Violate the terms of a restraining order

Fail to enroll in drug, alcohol or psychological treatment as ordered by the court Commit any new crimes Are arrested for a criminal or non-criminal offense Possess weapons or illegal substances

If you have committed a probation violation, or are unsure whether you have committed one, you need prompt and effective legal counsel. As longtime Seattle criminal defense lawyers, the James Newton Law team takes immediate action to address any possible violations and help you avoid jail time.
