Don't let a minor incident
drag you back down. Steven E. Kellis can help when you
are accused of probation or parole violations, bringing
quality legal work to your defense.
There are several reasons
that your probation officer may accuse you of violating
your probation. It may be that you violated by breaking
a technical term or condition, or it may be that you
violated by committing a new crime. In some instances,
you may be accused of both. Of the two, a technical
violation is considered the least serious, and may be
subject to lighter punishment by the court. Examples of
technical violations include changing your residence
without prior approval, failing to pay fines or
restitution, or failing to report for regularly
scheduled visits with your probation officer or for
counseling. It is unwise to try to work out probation
violations on your own.
Steven E. Kellis can help in
several ways. When there is a bond, he can help arrange
your surrender to the jail. And when there is no bond
(as in a felony violation), he can help arrange your
surrender to the court, and ask the court to set a bond
for your release. Steven E. Kellis can work to keep law
enforcement from actively seeking you on the warrant,
once you have made a commitment to surrender. He can
also investigate, negotiate and litigate the violation
charge to your best advantage; preparing the case for
trial at an evidentiary hearing, if needed. However,
violations are often settled by plea bargain, without
the need to face the risk and uncertainty of trial. In
this event, Steven E. Kellis can help prepare you to
present the most positive image to the court; thereby
maximizing your potential for a successful resolution.
