Levin & Javie focuses most of its practice on post-conviction relief issues, which includes issues related to probation.

In both of these scenarios, it is advantageous to have competent representation from a probation attorney in Philadelphia who can put you into the best legal position for a favorable outcome. Our firm brings decades of experience in these matters to your case. We provide vigorous and thorough legal help throughout every phase of the process you are facing.

Understanding Pennsylvania Probation Conditions and Compliance

The terms of your probation can involve many conditions to which you must comply or be found in violation. These can include but are not limited to:

• Hefty fines
• Community service hours
• Random drug/alcohol testing at your own expense
• Checking in/frequent meetings with your probation officer
• Counseling at your own expense
• Substance abuse programs/education at your own expense
• Ankle monitors/house arrest

Sometimes these conditions can be harsh, extremely restrictive, and expensive. They can interfere with your work or create problems at home, creating undue stress. If violated, they can lead to further punishment. Depending on your case, they can also go on for years.

Defense Strategies for Probation Violation Accusations in Philadelphia

If you are accused of violating any condition of your probation, you will need a strong defense before the court. You could be facing additional penalties, from an extension of your current term of probation by months or possibly years to additional programs, community service, imprisonment, or other penalties. Our Philadelphia probation lawyers have deep experience in defending clients in such matters and will do everything possible to help you avoid further punishment or sanctions by a judge.

Seeking Early Termination of Probation in Philadelphia

You may have been on probation for a while and wish to end it, put the past behind you, and move forward with your life without heavy restrictions. In such cases you may be a candidate for early termination and a motion to that effect can be filed with the court. Many factors will be reviewed by the court to determine an outcome.

These factors can start with the offense that led to your probation. They can further include how old you were when you committed the offense, how long you have been on probation, and how well you have complied with its terms.

At Levin & Javie, we can analyze all these factors to determine the likelihood of a successful outcome. Our attorneys understand all of the conditions that will likely lead to a favorable result and those that will work against it. We will give you an honest assessment so that you can make an informed decision regarding your case.
