The defense team at The Bigney Law Firm aggressively attacks each and every allegation on the vop affidavit in an effort to keep you out of prison.
Did you know that if you are arrested for a violation of probation or violation of community control, you are not entitled to a bond? While the courts will grant bond on occasion, it is discretionary for them to do so.

Technical Violations
When a person is placed on probation, they are required to follow standard conditions of probation. These conditions include reporting to probation as directed, pay fines and costs of probation, not associate with persons engages in criminal conduct, maintain employment and submit to random drug tests. The courts sometimes add additional “special conditions” of probation. These conditions typically include community service, drug treatment and anger management classes. Violating these standard and special conditions will cause you to get arrested. However, judges are more likely to grant a bond for these types of violations. If you or someone you know has been accused of a violation of probation, call us immediately. We will file a bond motion and get started on building a defense.
New Law Violations
Being arrested for a crime while on probation will always result in a violation of probation. Judges rarely are inclined to allow a probationer to bond out of jail if they are accused of committing a new offense. Typically, a probationer has to fight the vop before the trial on the new offense. Prosecutors are often overwhelmed and may not have time to prepare for the violation of probation hearing. With little time for the state to prepare, this can work to the probationer’s advantage.
