Tampa Violation of Probation Attorney
Most people who have been sentenced in a criminal court will be placed on Probation. While on probation these individuals must comply with certain conditions and be supervised by a probation officer. A violation of probation (VOP) is a serious offense and violators face mandatory incarceration without the ability for bond while awaiting a hearing on the violation. My law firm provides experienced defense to people who have been arrested for violations of their probation.
Has a loved one been arrested for VOP? Call the law office of Jeff Keel, P.A. at 813.282.3858 or contact us online to schedule a free consultation.
A skilled defense lawyer on your side
People who are released on probation are given terms and conditions to abide by. Noncompliance of these terms and conditions can result in rearrest, a potential conviction and consequences such as an extension of probation, revocation of probation, jail time or reinstatement of probation with additional terms. I have been a criminal defense attorney since 1995, and in that time, I have handled over 5,000 criminal cases. I provide committed legal representation to people who have been arrested for probation violations. I understand people can make mistakes while on probation, and I understand how the consequences can affect your life.
