Phoenix Probation Violation Attorney
Arrested for Violating Your Probation?
Sometimes when a person is convicted of a crime, one of the sentences the judge may impose is probation. Probation is the suspension of a jail sentence. With probation, instead of having to serve out your sentence in jail you are permitted return to your normal life as long as you adhere to the terms of your probation.
If you successfully abide by the terms set forth by the judge at the end of your probation you will be free to carry forth with your life. However, if you violate any of the terms of your probation you will be required to appear back in court and likely face additional legal consequences.
