Overland Park Probation Violation Defense
Contact (888) 387-2036 for Expert Legal Support
If you're convicted of a crime in Kansas, a judge may suspend a jail sentence and order a period of probation instead. While probation will give you more freedom than time in jail, you must adhere to very strict guidelines set forth by the court. If you violate these terms of your probation, you may be ordered to complete the original jail sentence, as well as face additional penalties for the violation.
Due to the serious consequences a probation violation can have, it's crucial to retain a skilled Overland Park criminal defense attorney right away. You'll find the tough, aggressive defense you need at Gigstad Law Office, LLC, where Attorney Robert Gigstad proudly stands for the rights of the criminally accused.
Trust our top-rated attorney to defend your rights and freedom. Call (888) 387-2036 for the aggressive representation you need.
Understanding Common Probation Violations
The terms of probation can vary widely based on a number of factors, including the severity of the crime committed and your criminal history. In many cases, the court will implement special conditions which are unique to your case. Due to the numerous conditions of many probation orders, it can be easy for people to unknowingly violate them. For minor probation violations, an Overland Park criminal defense lawyer can often successfully argue that you are trying to comply with the terms of your probation, resulting in a reinstatement of probation rather than jail time.
Some common examples of probation violations include:
- Failing to comply with drug/alcohol screenings
- Testing positive for drugs/alcohol
- Committing another crime
- Failing to complete court-ordered community service
- Neglecting to check in with your probation officer
- Leaving the state
What Happens After a Probation Violation?
Probation is best thought of as an opportunity to avoid jail time. If you successfully complete your probation, your sentence will be over and begin putting the matter behind you. If you violate your probation, however, the judge has the option to reactivate the initial jail sentence.
If you're charged with violating probation, a judge may:
- Increase the length of your probation term
- Modify the terms of your probation
- Order counseling sessions
- Order a short jail term, followed by more probation
- Charge you fines or restitution payments
- Revoke the probation, and send you back to jail

"Would Highly Recommend Robert to Others"I was facing a second DUI and was very much dreading the impact this would make on my professional career and near future goals. Robert walked me through each part of the process and made sure I understood what to expect through the court process. He was very professional and made sure that no stone was turned. The end result, unbelievably was my charges were all dismissed. He was able to find an important information that lead to the dismissal. Would highly recommend Robert to others.Happy Client

"Very Respectful and Understanding Throughout the Process"I contacted Gigstad Law Office when I found myself being charged with a DUI in the state of Kansas. Although I've used other lawyers in the past for other types of legal situations, I've found, much to my disappointment, that they can often be flaky, or lacking in timely communication and responsiveness. I found that Mr. Gigstad was just the opposite. His rates are reasonable, he didn't drop the ball when I needed immediate legal advice, and was very respectful and understanding throughout the process. I would definitely recommend his services.DUI Client

"I Would Recommend Him to Anyone!"Robert attended all of my court dates and got everything in order for me to do a diversion. In addition, he was able to get my drivers license case dropped (the part I was really dreading). He provided me with good advice on what to do and all the steps needed to move forward. He was easy to get a hold of through the entire process and great to work with. I would recommend him to anyone!Happy Client

"I Always Felt "in the Loop""Robert was extremely responsive from day one - returning my email contact request almost immediately. He walked me through the process and answered all my questions honestly and promptly. I always felt "in the loop". I originally contacted him because he was the only Johnson County attorney I found that had listed in his advertisement, expungement, as a service he provided. Robert assisted me in doing something I didn't know was possible - finally putting a bad decision I made 14 years ago behind me. Although I appreciated his professional and respectful approach to his work, I hope I never need his services again. If I do however, I would not hesitate to call him.DWI Client

"He will get the job done..."Robert done a great job with my speeding ticket situation. Was very upfront and honest with cost and what I would need to do to get the ticket handle. I would recommend him for any legal issues. He will get the job done...Happy Client
-
"I Would Highly Recommend Giving Robert a Call"Robert was very easy to work with. He took care of my speeding ticket for a very reasonable fee and had the ticket amended down to a non-moving violation so no points against my drivers license or insurance rate increases. If you have a speeding ticket in the KC area that needs to be dealt with, I would highly recommend giving Robert a call.Mat
