Long Island Parole Violation Lawyer

If you have violated the conditions of your parole in New York, you will want to contact a Long Island Parole Violation Lawyer. After being found guilty of a crime, you were given probation instead of a jail sentence. You were allowed to remain free and at liberty with some rules to follow and requirements to meet. These rules and requirements are very strictly enforced. Each term of your probation must be obeyed regardless of convenience or ease. Most probationers must adhere to requirements such as:

• Agreeing to warrantless searches by persons from law enforcement.
• Frequent and random drug or alcohol testing.
• Wearing a device to monitor location.
• Participating in and successfully completing community service and/or counseling.
• Paying fines in total.
• Making payment of restitution to victim.
• Avoid any association with other known criminals.
• Obeying terms of an order of protection.
• Maintaining employment.
• Refrain from further criminal activity.
• Report as stipulated to a probation officer.

By failing to adhere to all the terms of your probation, you may be violated and sentenced to an imprisonment term. Charges from your original crime may be reinstated as well. Most individuals violate their parole by missing appointments with their Probation Officer. Weekly or monthly appointments are used to discuss and monitor your progress. These meetings are not an option but a requirement. You must make these meetings a top priority in your freedom. When certain emergencies arise, you may not be able to make a meeting. You should immediately call your Probation Officer to inform him or her of the situation. Probation in itself is a form of sentencing. It is not meant to be simple or enjoyable. Probationers must earn their eventual freedom by obeying rules and regulations.

Once you have violated your probation, your criminal case will be placed before the court. You will be given the opportunity to address the issue during a hearing. Once the severities of the violation as well as the surrounding circumstances are addressed, your probation may be revoked or possibly extended. If revoked, the full length of imprisonment is usually imposed.
