Probation Violation Attorney in North Carolina
A probation violation allegation can result in activation of the suspended sentence you thought you had avoided. The hearing standard is lower than a criminal trial.
How Probation Violations Work in NC
The state only needs to prove the violation by a preponderance of the evidence, more likely than not. That lower standard makes these hearings dangerous without preparation.
Common Probation Violations
- Failure to report to a probation officer
- Failure to pay court costs or restitution
- New criminal charges while on probation
- Positive drug or alcohol test
- Leaving the county without permission
