Finding Ways to Avoid Complications Due to Probation Violations

If you’ve violated the terms of your probation – whether intentionally or unintentionally – you need to speak with an attorney immediately. At the San Antonio, Texas, law office of Texas probation violation lawyer Bill Baskette, I may be able to reduce or minimize the penalties you’re subject to IF you contact me early in the process.

With more than twenty-four years of legal experience, including nine years spent as a judge, I can plead your case with your parole officer and the county prosecutor before they arrest you. As your lawyer, I take action to indicate a level of responsibility and willingness to work with authorities when probation is violated. By stepping forward and admitting your mistake, the court is likely to hand down a reduced penalty than in cases where violators stay quiet and try and avoid notice.

To avoid further legal complications and being put in jail until a trial date is set, contact the law office of probation violation lawyer Bill Baskette today for a free initial consultation.

Qualifying for a Bond and Getting out of Jail

If you fail to notify the court of a probation violation, in accordance with Texas probation law you will be arrested when the violation is discovered. Without an attorney, you could sit in jail for as long as it takes for an appointment before the court. As a probation violator, you are not eligible for a recognizance bond. As your lawyer, I can work with the court to either get a bond posted for a client or have the amount reduced if one is already in place.

Don’t Assume the Problem with Simply Go Away

Take action now to avoid problems later. If you’ve taken drugs, failed to report income, or committed any other violation of your probation, contact my office immediately. Don’t take chances and assume you won’t be called in for a drug test or be discovered working at a job. Penalties are almost always less severe when you cooperate with the authorities.
