Probation Violation Lawyer
Generally speaking, probation is a preferred punishment over prison or jail. With that said, probation still places many restrictions on what a person can and cannot do. The failure to conform to these restrictions can put a person at risk to go to prison. Some probation violation cases can involve substantial prison terms upon revocation. If you have been accused of violating the terms of your probation, you have an urgent need for a lawyer.
​
At the Law Office of Robert L. Lichtenstein, we have defended many people against alleged probation or parole violations. Probation violations can occur under a number of circumstances such as:
​
-
Failure to report to a probation officer
-
Failure of a drug test
-
Using alcohol in violations of the probation order
-
Failure to pay restitution or fines
-
Failure to complete community service
One of the more common violations involves further criminal charges. Whatever your case involves, we can take the approach that is most likely to achieve a favorable resolution in your case.
Many times with good representation, you can be placed right back on probation. Although it is not uncommon for alleged offenders to be revoked or even sent to jail or prison. Robert L. Lichtenstein can aggressively defend you in your probation matter. We can attack evidence, challenge your probation officer and any witness statements. With over twenty-five years of experienced, we will have your back in the courtroom.
How Does This Happen?
When a probation officer believes you have violated your probation, they will notify the court without delay, who may issue an immediate warrant for your arrest. You will then usually be held without bail until a judge is available to hear your case. At the Law Office of Robert L. LIchtenstein, we understand how frightening and confusing a probation violation arrest can be.
There is the possibility that you made a mistake or were not aware that you were violating your probation. Or it may be that you have done nothing wrong and that there was a misunderstanding between you and your probation officer, or an administrative error. Other cases can be more complex.
Whatever the situation, our legal team is available to represent you in your case, and fight tirelessly for a resolution that is favorable to you.

Violation Lawyer
Throughout my career as a criminal trail lawyer, I have learned firsthand that good people can sometimes make bad mistakes and that individuals are often falsely accused of wrongdoing.
These errors do not mean, however, that an individual should spend the rest of their life paying for them.
​
I understand the overwhelming stress, fear, and uncertainty associated with an arrest and criminal charge. My goal is to eliminate this anxiety by fully explaining the legal process in understandable terms, implementing my skill and experience to help guide you through the criminal justice system, and fighting to protect your rights.
