Central Florida Probation Violations

Keep up the good behavior and keep your freedom

For people in Orlando and the surrounding towns who have been in county jail or state prison, parole—or “controlled release,” as it’s called in Florida—feels like a new shot at life. 

John Namey, P.A., Attorney at Law defends people in Orlando, Sanford, Kissimmee, Apopka, Daytona, and surrounding central Florida towns who require criminal defense against allegations of parole or probation violations:

• Failure to report to parole officers or the court
• Failure to report to counseling or other court-ordered rehabilitation programs
• Failure to perform community service or physical labor
• Failure to pass a drug test
• Failure to pay fines or victim restitution
• Commission of any illegal act
• Possession of weapons
• Associating with known criminals
• Being arrested even without pending criminal charges

Even hardened criminals, with very few exceptions, like being free better than being incarcerated—but, the truth is that many parolees are so accustomed to a certain lifestyle, populated with certain types of people, that allegations of parole violations happen frequently.

Landing back in jail is easy—get tough with criminal defense help

Many of the acts that land parolees back in jail are simply violations of the conditions of the controlled release—but they are also acts or behaviors that may be natural to you if you don’t understand the conditions of parole. 

When you are charged with a violation, you do not have a right to a trial, either.  The burden of proof shifts so that you do not have the benefit of the presumption of innocence. 

The prosecutor only has to show the judge that you probably violated parole and—bam!  You’re back in jail, maybe even for longer than you would have been if you had never obtained parole in the first place. 

If this is a situation you need to avoid, contact John Namey to defend against parole violations in Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Volusia, and Brevard Counties.
