What constitutes a probation violation?
Often times, an accusation of violating your probation is a misunderstanding or a simple accident on the part of the accused with no intention of violating probation. Our firm can argue you did not purposely violate probation.
Technical violations of probation can include:
- Non-payment of fines
- Curfew violations
- Absconding
- Failed drug tests
- Being out of residence
- Failure to report to a probation officer

Those found guilty of violating probation will most likely receive added conditions to their probation terms. The probation period can be extended or revoked and the offender can face jail time.

"Best Possible Outcome!"I recently referred a client to attorney Steven Casanova and I could not be happier with the result he obtained. Mr. Casanova's knowledge of criminal law and procedure, his years of experience in the courtroom, his great communication skills, the respect he has among his peers, his quick and timely responses to questions and concerns, and his true compassion for his clients makes him an extremely effective lawyer. Using these traits and his ability to strategize and negotiate, he recently and quickly achieved the best possible result for my client who I referred to him for criminal defense in a felony case. Way to go Steve! We all are extremely grateful.- Pamela

Mr. Casanova was very helpful. I could tell he wasn't money hungry. Most common folks are not fortunate to have a huge savings. The information he gave me was very accurate after researching. He easily could have taken advantage of a mother who has never experienced anything with the law if wanted to. When I asked about cost he simply said if your not satisfied with a public defender call me back. I felt he was sincere and honest in his answers. I think my gut is on point and will contact his office if I'm in need.- Sophia

"I only had to go to court once, which was nice because of work. Mr. Casanova was professional, yet casual, not typical attorney stereotype."I had never been in trouble with the law before. I was referred to Casanova Law by a friend of mine who was previous client of Mr. Casanova's. I originally spoke over the phone with the paralegal, and she took the time to explain the entire process. She was very knowledgeable and put my mind to ease. Throughout my case I called the office multiple times and the staff was always kind and able to help me and answer my questions. I only had to go to court once, which was nice because of work. Mr. Casanova was professional, yet casual, not typical attorney stereotype. Very pleased with the outcome.- Former Client
