Call St. Petersburg probation violation attorney R. Lane Lastinger at 727.565.1259 for a free initial consultation today.

My extensive experience allows me insight into methods to defend you against accusations of a probation violation. I will take the time to assess your situation and determine whether the violation was technical or willful and substantial.

A technical violation usually involves a violation that does not involve a new arrest or new crime. Examples may include a curfew violation or testing positive for drugs.
A willful and substantial probation violation is an intentional violation of probation that is more serious in nature.

I can show the court what you have done to meet your probation requirements. The overall goal is to complete all of the terms for termination of probation so you are free to move forward with your life.

Did You Test Positive for Drugs?

Even if you have tested positive for drugs, there may be solid defense options available. A drug test may not quantify the amount of drugs in your system, and other factors may affect the test results. I will help you determine a course of legal action based on the specific results of your drug test.

Driving on a Suspended License

Driving with a license that has been suspended or revoked is one of the easiest ways to violate probation. Getting a speeding ticket or being pulled over by the police can result in new criminal charges, and matters can get complicated very quickly. Often times, I am able to help clients get a valid license or resolve matters by paying a fine. Schedule a consultation at my law office to learn about your specific options.
