Lawyers agree
Answered .  You are facing revocation and a VOP. Not a smart move. All you can do now is shut-up, get offline and into an experienced Trenton area criminal defense lawyer’s office and start planning on how to mitigate your loss. If you are lucky you will be terminated and done. If not then you can be sentenced.

That said, violations of probation (VOP’s) are very different than substantive (new) cases. The terms and conditions of probation make it such that any material and willful violation can result in a no bond hold, a bench (not a jury) hearing (trial) with lax rules of evidence, admissible hearsay and a reduced burden of proof (a “preponderance of evidence” – or “more likely than not”).

You should consider taking a look at my Avvo Legal Guide on surviving probation / CC in Florida as it contains valuable information which may be beneficial to you. For your convenience a link follows.

I hope that this has been helpful and wish you the best of luck!

For more than a quarter of a century I have striven to make Michael A. Haber, P.A. a business that custom tailors its services to meet the needs of the client. This incorporates such things as (but is not limited to) doing my best to meet clients at their convenience (as opposed to mine), in locations and at times which are mutually convenient (sometimes at their homes, places of business, independent ground - having free wifi and excellent coffee any Dunkin Donuts always works for me - and occasionally even at odd hours), structuring fees to reasonably accommodate the parties, making myself personally available to the client as close to 24/7 as is possible and, perhaps most importantly, giving careful and comprehensive consideration to both micro and macro issues in a given case so as to be able to agree upon and effort toward a viable litigation objective. This is why I refer to Michael A.

Haber, P.A.
