I offer legal services for people who are on probation.
If you have been accused of violating your probation, you need a probation attorney who is highly skilled, knowledgeable, and experienced. You can contact me at the Law Offices of David Mengers, and I will provide a strong, strategic defense for you. As one of two Board-Certified Criminal Trial Lawyers in Marion County, Florida, I am prepared to handle your case with the goal of preventing or minimizing further consequences.
Probation requirements are strict, which means violations are common. Technical violations occur when a person fails to comply with the terms of their probation but has not engaged in criminal activity. For instance, a missed meeting with your probation officer or failure to complete a mandatory program would be technical violations. Substantive violations refer to when a person commits a new crime while on probation. As your probation attorney, I can defend you against both types of violations.
I will represent you at your probation hearing and advocate strongly for the best outcome. I may argue that no violation occurred, illustrate extenuating circumstances surrounding the violation, challenge evidence, and/or cross-examine witnesses. I can also negotiate with the prosecution for alternatives to jail time.
Violations of probation can have serious consequences, so I am here to offer the legal support you need and to help protect your rights. If you need a probation attorney, reach out to my office to schedule a consultation.
At the Law Offices of David Mengers, I am a probation attorney serving those in Marion County, Ocala, The Villages, Liberty Triangle, Marion Oaks, Silver Springs Shores, Reddick, McIntosh, Dunnellon, and Belleview, Florida.
