Probation and Parole Violations
New Charge Violations
A new charge is a potential trigger for a parole or probation violation in Pennsylvania. While you are presumed innocent until proven guilty, many eager Probation officers will rush to violate you as soon as the charges are filed, putting you in prison before you ever get a chance to exercise your constitutional rights as you handle the case against you. Styer Law will fight on your behalf and defend your presumption of innocence. We believe anyone accused of a crime should not be detained on a probation detainer until AFTER the case is handled. Only bail should hold someone in jail for a new charge, we believe the case law agrees with us.
Technical Violations
You can be violated for technical violations, which includes missed or failed drug tests, missing appointments, or not completing various requirements of your probation.
Custodial vs Non-Custodial Status
If a probation officer files a warrant and a detainer, you will be booked into prison pending your probation hearing. Sometimes, they will place you on non-custodial status, which leaves you free until your probation/parole hearing is handled. Styer Law will fight for your freedom and can petition the court to place you in non-custodial status to keep you out of custody until your hearing.
Styer Law Will Fight For You
Probation and Parole violations are serious and in Pennsylvania those on Probation can be resentenced on their original charges, those on Parole can face the unexpired balance of their remaining parole time and be placed back into prison. You want an attorney who is willing to fight for you every step of the way. If you have a probation or parole violation, contact Styer Law.
