PROBATION VIOLATIONS

Probation Violation in Virginia?
Your Freedom Is on the Line

Probation Violation Va. Code § 19.2-306 and § 19.2-306.1

Probation is often granted as an alternative to jail time, but any violation, no matter how small, can quickly land you back before a judge. These cases are common across Northern Virginia, and Battlefield Law Group is known for aggressively defending probation violation cases, especially where social media or public attention may amplify the pressure.

Violations can stem from failed drug tests, missing appointments, failing to pay court-ordered fines, not completing community service, associating with known criminals, or picking up new charges like DUI or shoplifting. Judges often view any slip as a failure to comply with the court's leniency, which means you may be facing the full suspended sentence, even for a first-time violation.

Types of Violations:

  • Technical Violations (missed meetings, failed tests, etc.)

  • Substantive Violations (committing a new crime)

  • Violations tied to other criminal charges, such as DUI or assault

Penalties Can Include:

  • Serving your original jail sentence

  • Extended probation terms

  • Stricter conditions (e.g., ankle monitors, daily check-ins)

  • Immediate incarceration depending on the nature of the violation

We work quickly to gather evidence, build a narrative around your compliance, and argue for alternatives to jail like treatment programs, community service, or continued supervision. Our attorneys also know how to address cases where social media posts or surveillance footage are being used against you—a growing trend in probation revocations.
