Probation Violations
San Diego Probation Violation Lawyer
Do you need representation at a Probation Violation hearing?
If you were given probation instead of jail time, it may seem like you got off easy. But make just one small mistake and you could find yourself back in court and your probation revoked. You should hire an experienced San Diego probation attorney to represent you in any probation violation hearing.
How Probation Violations Happen
After you have been granted probation, it is important to understand the ways in which a probation violation may occur. Some common probation violations include:
- Failure to appear in court
- Failure to report to a probation officer
- Failure to comply with the rules of probation
- Failure to pay restitution or fines imposed by the court as a condition of probation
- Possession of illegal substances or weapons
- Being arrested for committing a new crime
When you are placed on probation, you are required to be on your best behavior and not to become involved in any type of criminal activity. If you are arrested while you are on probation, it signals to the judge that you did not learn your lesson and perhaps giving you probation was a mistake. No judge likes to be put in such a position, and the judge may make you pay the price for not having complied with the court orders.

Testimonials
- Isabella M."The best of the best. Period. I recently had the pleasure of hiring Michael Berg to handle a rather difficult case. Professional, prompt and thorough he is the best I have ever encountered."
- Christina D.Wow. When I first met you I was 20 years old and scared to death. A drug addict behind bars and pregnant isn't where I thought I'd ever end up. That was 8 years ago. You're an amazing person and an awesome attorney and I'm lucky to have had you defending me. What you were able to do for me was give me another chance at life. You helped me to work with the system. Looking back, I couldn't have done any of it without you. I always recommend you to all my friends. You are, by far, one of the best attorneys out there, and a great person too!
- Anthony P.Today's result was outstanding! Thank you for your fine work! I will certainly recommend you should the need arise.
- Abby R."I hired attorney Michael Berg for my attempted murder case, and let me tell you I don't regret a thing! Not only is he fantastic at what he does, he's honestly one of the humblest men I have ever met. His smile and energy is very contagious. I don't know where I'd be if I didn't find him. He helped me get my case dismissed! I suppose you could call him a miracle worker. He basically saved my life. I'm very young and this was my first time getting into trouble with the law. He helped me throughout the whole process and always had an answer to my questions. If you're in need of a criminal defense lawyer I assure you, he's the one. I guarantee you will not be disappointed in hiring him."
- Michael L."Michael Berg handled my case with competency, responsibility, honesty, and diligence. He made promises that he kept, and helped me get through my case from start to finish (over multiple months with follow-up over a year later). I can not provide any better recommendation than Mr. Berg if you need an attorney in San Diego."
