Probation & Parole Violations

Probation & Parole Violations

If you violate the terms and conditions of your California misdemeanor or felony probation, you will have to attend a California probation violation hearing. Depending on the circumstances of your case, the judge may go several different routes: he/she may reinstate your probation with existing terms and conditions, he/she may change the terms to make them more stringent, or, revoke your probation and send you to jail.

All parolees are entitled to a California parole revocation hearing before a parole violation can be sustained. When a California state prison inmate is placed on parole, it means that he/she has agreed to abide by certain terms and conditions upon his/her release from prison. There are a variety of defenses that are applicable to parole revocation hearings that can convince the deputy commissioner that you should remain under your current parolee status.
