A violation of probation occurs when a general or special condition of a probation court order has been violated.   The objective of a violation proceeding is to impose the original jail sentence.   Special defenses are available in these proceedings.   Jack I. Hyatt is a former Senior Criminal Probation Officer, and Former Assistant States Attorney and has participated in numerous violation of probation and parole proceedings.   He thoroughly understands the mechanics of probation, what the state's burdens are to prove a violation of probation, what defenses will best work and which defenses will not work.   He will bring his experiences, using both sides of the law, to aggressively represent you in your violation of probation and will provide the very best opportunity so you will not have to serve the jail sentence imposed by the court.   If we accept your case, we will provide you with a special prompt package that will enable you to detail exactly what occurred. After questioning you, we will detail all of your options and the very best way to proceed in your case.   If you are on probation with harsh conditions, with the correct preparation, it is possible to have the conditions of probation modified, and sometimes terminated early.
