If you are found guilty of a violation of probation under Florida Statute 948.06 your fate is determined by the judge assigned to your case. Many times the sentencing is immediate and harsh. The attorneys of Finebloom & Haenel are ready and available to help you obtain the best result possible.
After the hearing, if you are found not to be in violation, your probation either continues as normal or it will be terminated. If you are found guilty of the violation, you can be sentenced to whatever your original sentence could have been. For example:
- If you are found guilty of a violation of probation and the original charge was a 2nd degree misdemeanor the maximum sentence you can receive is 60 days jail.
- If you are found guilty of a violation of probation and the original charge was a 1st degree misdemeanor the maximum sentence you can receive is one year in jail.
- If you are found guilty of a violation of probation and the original charge was a 3rd degree felony the maximum sentence you can receive is five years in prison.
- If you are found guilty of a violation of probation and the original charge was a 2nd degree felony the maximum sentence you can receive is 15 years in prison.
- If you are found guilty of a violation of probation and the original charge was a 1st degree felony the maximum sentence you can receive is 30 years in prison.
If you don’t have an extensive criminal history, or if your violation was not very serious, it is possible that a judge will place you back on probation or give you a small jail sentence. Many times the State will seek the maximum sentence for a violation of probation. If you don’t have aggressive representation, the judge may be inclined to give the State what they ask for.
