Violating your probation in California is no
good, while repeat probation violations are a
nightmare. Although you have been warned against
violating your probation, it may be confusing as
to what penalties and legal consequences are
associated with probation violations in a DUI
case. It is true that there are cases when those
who violate their probation in Los Angeles or
elsewhere in California have their probation
revoked and are sent straight to jail or prison.
But if you are represented by a Los Angeles DUI
defense attorney from Okabe Haushalter, there
is a high chance that your lawyer will be able to
reduce the penalties and help you avoid more
severe probation terms.

Probation Conditions In Dui Cases In California
Penalties for repeat violations in DUI cases are
rather harsh, but there may be a way to avoid
punishment for violating your probation in
California, says their experienced DUI defense
attorney in Los Angeles. Before they get to the
meat and potatoes of punishments for violating
probation in California, lets review the general
terms of all DUI probations in the state to have
a better understanding of how it all works.

• Regardless of whether it is your first or
  subsequent conviction, these are the probation
  conditions that will most likely be imposed in
  your DUI case in Los Angeles or elsewhere in
  California
• Up to five years of summary probation, which does
  not require a probation officer
• No committing of any additional criminal offenses
  while on probation (traffic violations that are
  not classified as criminal offenses are excluded)
• The requirement to pass DUI breath tests and DUI
  blood tests when arrested on suspicion of driving
  under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• A prohibition from operating a vehicle with any
  measurable (legally allowed) amount of alcohol in
  your blood while on DUI probation (Californias
  zero tolerance law).

What Are The Penalties And Punishments For
Violating Dui Probation?
Just because you are being accused of violating
your DUI probation, it does not necessarily mean
that you are in trouble. You have a right to
participate in a hearing to protect your rights
and defeat the accusation that you violated your
probation.

In order to make sure that you successfully fight
your probation violation case, it is highly
advised to be represented by a Los Angeles DUI
defense attorney. More often than not, probation
officers do not issue a violation of probation
and send you for re-arrest unless there is
convincing and confirmed evidence that you
violated the terms of your DUI probation.
7
If the judge has enough evidence that you
violated your DUI probation, you may be
resentenced with the judge revoking your
probation and activating the suspended sentence.
For example, lets imagine that you were
sentenced to 4 years in jail and were ordered 5
years of probation. If there is evidence that you
violated your DUI probation, the judge may revoke
your probation and activate the 4-year jail
sentence, which will immediately be sent you to
jail.

However, in many cases, the judge chooses to
restore you to probation with additional or
modified conditions of the probation in your DUI
case. The severity of these terms depends on the
negotiation skills of your DUI defense lawyer in
California. Contact Okabe Haushalter to speak
about your particular situation. Let their
lawyers help you avoid punishment for violating
terms of your DUI probation or reduce the
severity of penalties in your case. Get a free
