With more than 25 years of criminal law experience, we know how to combat probation violations due to either a new criminal offense or declaration of delinquency.

Fine can effectively represent your interests and protect your rights during the hearing.

Terms and conditions of probation are given in writing at the time of sentencing

New York law determines probation terms and conditions. The severity of the terms depends on the nature of the crime and can include:

Avoiding undesirable people, places or habits Steady work at a suitable job or training to equip the defendant for suitable employment Medical or psychiatric treatment Participation in alcohol, substance abuse or motor vehicle accident prevention programs Compliance with dependent support and other family responsibilities Making restitution, reparation or posting bond

Community service hours Use of ignition interlock device Regular reporting to a probation officer Electronic monitoring device Commitment of no other offenses Not leaving the jurisdiction Drug testing A search of your person an/or home

If you ignore, avoid, refuse or violate any of the specific terms and conditions of your probation sentence, you may be charged with a probation violation. The court can modify or increase the conditions if you commit another offense or violate a condition, or can revoke probation altogether.
