Alameda County Probation Violation Lawyers

Alameda County Probation Violation Attorneys

When a new arrest results in a probation violation, it may require our Alameda County Probation Violation lawyers to appear in two different proceedings: the new case and the probation violation. Often, they are in different courts. If the probation violation is for a felony there will not be a bail set at the time of arrest. While it is difficult to get a bail set on a felony probation violation, if there are compelling circumstances like loss of a job, or children who need to be cared for, our lawyers will make every effort to convince the judge that a bail should be set.

If the client is on probation for a misdemeanor, he is entitled to have a bail set on the violation as a matter of law.

It is very important that the new case and the probation violation be resolved at the same time. Often, a disposition in the probation violation will result in the new case being dismissed or no jail sentence imposed. Our lawyers are experienced in representing people who are on probation and pick up a new case and we work effectively with the judges and district attorneys in both matters to get the best possible result for the client.

If it is necessary for the client to stay in custody because of a no bail probation hold, we work quickly and efficiently to resolve the case so that the client spends the least amount of time in jail.
