If you are alleged to have violated the terms of your probation or deferred adjudication, your freedom can be placed at serious risk! You may be subjected to an extended probationary period or additional time in jail. There is no time to waste to defend your rights and protect your freedom.
Mandy Miller Legal, PLLC can provide the vigorous representation you need to quash a motion to adjudicate or motion to revoke. Once your probation officer has requested an arrest warrant, the legal time clock begins. As your experienced Katy criminal defense attorney, I can deliver the swift and assertive advocacy you require to go to battle for you.
If you are the subject of a motion to adjudicate or motion to revoke, your probation officer has notified the court that you are suspected of violating the terms of your probation. Unlike most criminal proceedings, there will be no jury trial. Instead, you will have a hearing before a judge.
At your hearing, the prosecutor does not need to prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, but only that there is a preponderance of evidence against you. Unfortunately, this is a much lower legal standard. This hearing is the most critical juncture in this process. Failure to have skilled legal counsel by your side could result in your immediate incarceration.
Additional regulations exist for individuals who are pursuing
expungements, which I can discuss with you during a free and in-person case evaluation. As your Katy criminal defense lawyer, I can fight for your rights and help you obtain an expungement if possible.
If your motion to adjudicate is granted, you will now have an established criminal record. Motions to revoke can result in your granted probation time converted to jail time.
Defending against either allegations requires insightful legal counsel extensively experienced in this complex matter of law. As a former prosecutor, I am acutely aware of what it takes to successfully challenge such motions and can deliver the strong representation it takes to safeguard your freedom.
