EXPERIENCED FIRM ON PROBATION VIOLATION CASES
Palm Beach & Broward Probation Violation Lawyer
If you believe that your probation officer is going to allege that you violated your felony or misdemeanor probation, then contact attorney Ray Ledezma. Let us put our experienced to work for you. Call 561-454-9727 today to talk with me about your felony or misdemeanor VOP case.
Typically, after the probation officer submits the paperwork for the VOP, the judge will sign a warrant for your arrest. The arrest warrant usually has a “no bond” provision, meaning that unless you retain an attorney to resolve your case quickly or obtain a bond, you may be sitting in jail for weeks or months until your case is resolved.
As a result, it is common for people who believe they will be arrested for violation of probation to stop reporting to their probation officer. Some individuals even flee from their home to avoid being arrested on the VOP arrest warrant. Failing to report to your probation officer or absconding only makes the matter worse by causing additional grounds for the violation.
If the court knows that you failed to report or absconded, the court may be less inclined to give you another chance at successfully completing your probation when you are eventually picked up on the warrant and brought before the judge..
I can contact your probation officer on your behalf and request additional time to allow you to come into compliance with the terms of your probation before the violation affidavit is submitted to the judge. The probation officers have a tremendous amount of discretion in these matters. I might also be able to help you come up with ways to come into compliance faster.

In other cases, I attorney can file a “motion for surrender” which may allow you to turn yourself in on the VOP warrant in the courtroom where the judge can set a reasonable bond in the case, dismiss the allegation or release you on your own recognizances (ROR).
Alternatively, I can arrange for you to turn yourself in on the violation of probation warrant at the jail, and then represent you at your first appearance hearing which might take place the next morning.
Additionally, I can schedule an emergency bond hearing to give you the best chance at having your case resolved quickly if you are not released after your first appearance court date. If your case can not be resolved in a favorable manner, your attorney can request that the court set a reasonable bond so that you can be released from custody to come into compliance with any outstanding terms prior to your next court date. In many cases, I can help get you back in front of the judge in days instead of weeks.
Even if the court is not inclined to grant bond, the court may be inclined to resolve the case that day. The best result might be dismissing the VOP affidavit or simply reinstating the probation to give you another chance to successfully complete the probation. Attorney Ray Ledezma will provide a free, confidential consultation that will allow you to sit down with an attorney to discuss the criminal accusation. Seeking a consultation with an attorney as soon as possible remains the best way to protect yourself against a false accusation. We pride ourselves in fighting these cases aggressively when our client has been falsely accused of such a serious offense.
