San Diego Probation Attorney
Any defendant convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor will have to serve a formal probation, or a summary probation for one to five years. There are many specific conditions of a probation that must be followed explicitly.
Many probation periods can include any of the following: community service, fine payment, court ordered classes or programs, progress reports, the completion of which must be done in a timely fashion. During your probation period, you cannot be arrested for anything else, to insure completion of your case.
Should any of these requirements not be met, the probationary period can be revoked. Jail time can even be required for a misdemeanor or felony.
