QUALITY, INTEGRITY, EXCELLENCE
Violation of Probation

If you believe that your child’s juvenile probation officer is going to accuse your child of violating his or her felony or misdemeanor probation, you need to contact a Santa Rosa violation of juvenile probation attorney to assist your child. The James Turner Law Firm, LLC, is ready to defend your child during a violation of probation case filed in the greater Pensacola Area including Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa and Walton counties.

Typically, after the Florida juvenile probation officer makes an allegation of violation of probation, the judge will sign a warrant for your child’s arrest. Depending on the severity of the violation and your child’s previous history, the Court may require his secure detention in facility, meaning that unless your child retains an attorney to resolve your child’s case quickly or obtains his release at a detention hearing, your child may be sitting in a detention center for a lengthy period of time (weeks or months) until your child’s Florida juvenile probation violation case is resolved.

As a result, it is common for juveniles who believe they will be arrested for violation of probation to stop reporting to their juvenile probation officer. However, failing to report to your child’s juvenile probation officer simply makes the matter worse.  Actually, it causes additional grounds for violation. If the court knows that your child failed to report, the court may be less inclined to give your child another chance at successfully completing your child’s juvenile probation when your child is eventually picked up on the warrant and brought before the judge.

If you believe that your child’s probation officer may allege that your child violated juvenile probation, your child should contact a Milton & Pensacola violation of juvenile probation lawyer for advice. At the James Turner Law Firm, LLC, we can represent your child in his or her violation of juvenile probation case in Santa Rosa & Escambia counties, including Pensacola, Bellview, Gonzalez, Century, Pace, Gulf Breeze, Milton, Cantonment, Molino, Perdido Key, Walnut Hill, Bagdad, Navarre,  and Pensacola Beach.

What An Attorney Can Do to Help Your Child After a Probation Violation

  • Your child’s attorney can contact your child’s juvenile probation officer on your child’s behalf and request additional time to allow your child to come into compliance with the terms of your child’s probation.
  • Finally, a Milton and Pensacola juvenile criminal defense attorney can arrange for your child to turn himself in on the violation of probation warrant at the jail, and then represent your child at your child’s detention hearing which can take place within a few hours of the time your child surrenders to the jail.
  • Additionally, your child’s Pensacola and Milton juvenile criminal attorney can schedule an emergency hearing to give your child the best chance at having your child’s case resolved quickly if your child is not released after your child’s initial detention hearing.
  • If your child is taken into custody on a Florida violation of juvenile probation warrant, a juvenile criminal defense attorney can immediately file an emergency motion on your child’s behalf. Usually your child can be back in front of the judge in a matter of hours instead of weeks. Even if the court is not inclined to release your child from secure detention, the court may be inclined to resolve the case that day by simply reinstating the juvenile probation, thereby giving your child another chance to successfully complete the juvenile probation.
