Failure to pay court-ordered fines, failure to pay restitution, failure to check in with your probation officer, or failure of an alcohol or drug test may be considered a violation of probation. While these actions would not otherwise be punishable, they are in probation violation proceedings. You may be placed in jail and ineligible for bail until the probation violation issues are resolved. While the judge might permit you to attempt to resolve the matter without an attorney, it is critical to have experienced legal counsel on your side.
