Cobb County Probation Violation Lawyers
Marietta Parole Attorneys
Probation is a form of judicial leniency that allows an individual who has been convicted of a crime to avoid spending his or her entire sentence in jail. The individual may remain free, but must strictly follow certain set conditions in order to remain free.
If you stand accused of violating the conditions of your parole, then you will have to serve out the remainder, or at least a substantial portion, of your sentence. For a free consultation with an experienced attorney to discuss a possible parole or probation revocation, call 888-807-6134 or contact our office online. Our law offices are conveniently located in Marietta, Georgia.
At the Ray Gary Jr., Law Office, our clients benefit from the extraordinary credentials and experience of our two attorneys. Lawyer Ray Gary Jr. has over 35 years of criminal defense experience, including experience as a prosecutor and a criminal court judge. Attorney Victoria S. Aronow has over 25 years of experience and was one of Georgia's top prosecutors before becoming a defense attorney.
Our Attorneys Have Handled Thousands of Probation Violations
Taken together, our two criminal defense lawyers have over 60 years of criminal law experience and have defended many clients against charges for probation violations.
In addition to understanding the nuance and intricacies involved in defending against these charges, we have an excellent record of negotiating less severe punishments and alternative sentences. This may involve house arrest, drug or alcohol dependency rehabilitation or a work-release program. In more serious cases, we fight to have clients serve their incarceration in Cobb County jail instead of within Georgia's state prison system.
Probation Violations Present Many Legal Challenges
There is a wide variety of potential circumstances that can be considered "probation violations." If you have four years remaining on your sentence, and are arrested with even a small amount of marijuana, then just a minor drug offense could result in four years in prison.
Matters are made more challenging by the fact that probation revocation cases are not decided in jury trials. Prosecutors do not need to prove you are "guilty beyond a reasonable doubt," but only that you are guilty "by a preponderance of evidence." The distinction is important, because the first standard is much higher than the second.
If you have been charged with a probation violation, we have the experience to help. For a free consultation to learn more about our services, call 888-807-6134 or contact us online.
