CALIFORNIA DUI Violations of Probation
Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles & Orange County
DUI Criminal Lawyer & Attorney

After you have pled guilty to a DUI or lesser offense, the courts have generally put you on a probationary period of anywhere from one to five (generally three) years.  In a DUI case, violating your probation normally means that you have failed to live up to a term that you agreed to on an initial plea. This may mean you did not make your fine payments on time, failed to complete an alcohol education program, didn’t perform jail time, community service, cal-trans, live-in/out programs, AA meetings, etc… It can also be because you have picked up another misdemeanor or felony offense (DUI or other) while still on probation for another case. In cases such as these, the penalties can range from minor (being revoked and reinstated on the initial terms of one’s probation) and then dealing with the new case, or major (being subjected to the maximum penalties and/or fines under the law) and still having to deal with the new case. Once you violate your probation, you are in the judge’s hands.  The District Attorney’s office does not negotiate these cases.  However, having a good attorney by your side can only make it better!  The DUI defense attorneys at WILL & WILL, LLP handle violation of probation on DUI cases on a daily basis.  We will present your case to the judge and determine whether it is in your best interest to try and negotiate or have a hearing on the alleged violation.
