North Fulton Probation Problems

When you are convicted at trial, or more commonly, when you plead guilty to a DUI or other offense in the Milton or Fulton County area, you will more than likely be placed on probation. While most people see probation as a relief - after all, it is an alternative to jail or inpatient treatment programs - probation has its own set of pitfalls. It is expensive, with probation supervision fees approaching nearly $50 per month. There are many requirements as well - such as community service, DUI school, aclcohol and drug evaluations and counseling, random drug and alcohol screens, and an ignition interlock device being installed in your vehicle in some instances. If you miss a probation appointment, have a dirty screen, fail to comply with any requirement of your probation, get a new offense (even a traffic ticket), or get behind on payments or community service, your Milton probation officer has the authority to revoke some or all of your remaining probation to jail time. What is really awful in the Milton / North Fulton area is that if you even accused of being out of compliance with your probation by your probation officer, you may have to sit in jail for weeks waiting to have a probation revocation hearing. Bond is generally not available. So if you are having probelms with your probation or probation officer, or if you know they want to issues a warrant for your arrest, call a Milton violation of probation attorney right away.
