Miami, Florida Probation Violations Attorney
A probation violation can have significant impact on your freedom, your criminal history, and your chances for early release if sent back to prison. Understanding what your options are and how to position your case before a judge is essential to avoiding additional legal complications. At the law office of Clayton R. Kaeiser, we counsel and defend people accused or arrested for probation violations. Regardless whether you intentionally or unintentionally violated the terms of your probation, explaining your side of the story to a judge is crucial. Financial difficulties, job worries, or drug and alcohol addictions may not excuse a probation violation but they may convince the court that what you need is counseling rather than jail.
If you've been arrested or charged with violating the terms of your probation, contact criminal defense lawyer Clayton R. Kaeiser today and schedule an appointment to discuss your case.

Probation Violations - Exploring Alternatives to Jail
While we cannot guarantee a particular outcome, in general, the court is interested in making sure you comply with the terms of your probation. As your attorney, Mr. Kaeiser explores alternatives to your being sent back to jail that may include electronic monitoring, additional check-ins with your probation officer, regular drug and alcohol testing, and community service. A willingness to seek counseling for anger management or drug and alcohol abuse may also be necessary.
While the prospect of more invasive monitoring and frequent check-ins may sound burdensome, agreeing to them may mean the difference between remaining on probation or returning to prison with an additional sentence tacked on to your original one.
