Florida Attorney Defending Your Legal Rights
Florida probation and community control, or house arrest, violations are considered serious offenses. No matter if your violation involved a dirty urine screen, failure to report for probation or other infraction, you are now eligible to receive the full punishment for the underlying crime. Because you are facing such serious consequences, hire an experienced lawyer to defend you.
At the law office of Mark E. Hershock, we represent people who have been charged with probation or community control violations. We serve clients in Tampa, Florida, and the surrounding areas.
Skillful Probation Violation Negotiator
When you violate probation or community control, it doesn't matter whether you committed the underlying crime or accepted a plea agreement out of convenience. You have engaged in a separate offense and may receive the full penalty for the original crime.
At the law office of Mark E. Hershock, we will review your situation in order to identify your options. Attorney Mark E. Hershock, who is a former state prosecutor, will work with the appropriate prosecutor to try to negotiate a plea agreement, aiming to minimize your exposure to penalties. Because each case is unique, we work to reach creative solutions for each client. Some possible resolutions include:
- Voluntary drug screening
- Substance abuse treatment
- Psychological evaluation and treatment
We strive to keep clients from being taken into custody due to these violations. We also work to avoid the imposition of harsher sentences than the ones originally given.
