The Kelbaugh Firm

People facing probation revocation hearings are frequently at risk of serving longer in jail for the probation revocation than they served in jail for their initial conviction.  Anyone who is on probation and is accused of a new crime should speak with an attorney as soon as possible, especially people who are on First Offender probation, because violating a law while on probation is a violation of probation. 

 

The law in Georgia regarding probation is complex and confusing.  Even "technical violations" of probation can result in a person spending significant time in jail.  People on First Offender probation are at risk of being resentenced up to the statutory maximum, which depending on the circumstances could be years longer then their original sentence.
