York Probation Violation Attorney
Were you accused of violating the terms of your probation?
At Ilkhanoff & Silverstein we have a
combined 30 years of experience in obtaining successful conclusions to legal matters on behalf of our
clients. Our attorneys and support staff work diligently to provide you
with effective legal representation. Our experience may be of great benefit
if you are accused of violating the terms of your probation or have been
incarcerated for a violation and are waiting for a hearing before the judge.
A person accused of violating probation may face the same punishment they
could have received when they were originally accused of the crime, including
the stiff penalties for
felony crimes. It won't be relevant that you took a plea on your original charges
or weren't guilty of the crime. The only thing that will be viewed
by the judge is whether or not the prosecution can show that you violated
your probation.
The end result can be you spending time in jail. Commonly, probation officers
and judges are not easily swayed by the excuses or reasons that a defendant
gives. It is important, therefore, to utilize a trusted York criminal
defense attorney to aggressively pursue a positive resolution to accusations
of parole violations.
