Ventura DUI Probation Violation Lawyer
Charged with Probation Violation? Contact Us Today!
In California, if you are convicted of DUI, you may be granted the much more favorable sentence of serving probation. This helps those individuals avoid facing maximum punishments, such as having to spend time in jail and other harsh penalties, if they complete all of the terms and abide by them for the duration of the probation time.
However, failing to do so can lead to more serious consequences. If someone violates the terms of his or her probation, not only can probation be canceled out, but the individual may have to face jail—exactly what they would have wanted to avoid in the first place.
If you have been accused of violating probation, you need the assistance of a Ventura DUI attorney. Call The Law Offices of Robert F. Sommers today!
The Terms of Probation
DUI probations often result in jail and other penalties, such as significant fines, the loss of one’s driver’s license, and mandatory completion of alcohol education courses. When someone has committed a violation of his or her probation, this means that he or she have failed to abide by the terms.
These are some of the most common types of violations:
- Failing to attend alcohol education classes
- Getting arrested for a second DUI
- Driving without a valid or suspended license
- Refusing to install an Ignition Interlock Device (IID)
At most, what could happen if someone were to violate the terms of his or her probation? Probation is usually served in lieu of jail time; one might consider it much more lenient. However, if the judge finds that the individual had complete disregard for the terms of their probation, then the judge might rule that jail time should be given instead.
