If you have been placed on probation, you know how restrictive probation can be. When you fail to abide by the terms of probation, that failure can land you in jail. Hiring an attorney with proven success in defending clients who have violated their probation may keep you out of jail.
If you violate the terms of your probation, your probation officer will likely request a hearing to evaluate your probation. Oftentimes, your probation officer will ask the judge to send you to jail. When you violate your probation, you can be sentenced to any amount of incarceration that you could have been sentenced to when you were originally convicted. At a probation violation hearing, the probation officer does not have to prove you in fact violated your probation; all he usually needs to show is that you are likely to have violated.

In the 1980s, many states – including Colorado – created legislation that began to enhance sentencing for certain drug crimes based on where the crimes were committed. It is the birth of this type of legislation that gave us Drug-Free Zones.
