Miami criminal attorney Andrew J. Smallman has been helping people just like you or your friend avoid going back to jail after violating probation.  In the video above, Smallman  breaks down the different types of probation violations (VOP), how serious the penalties might be, and how he can help you through the legal process if you have violated your probation. 

If you have violated the terms of your probation, it is important that you be proactive in addressing the issue.  This is not a simple matter and you will definitely want the help of a professional, experienced, and aggressive criminal attorney such as Gilbert and Smallman in the Miami area. 

The worst thing you can do when facing a possible VOP is ignore the problem.  The police will look for you, and my knock on the door of your residence, call your employer, or find you where you are known to hang out.   

If you do address the issue proactively, there is a good chance that the matter can potentially be taken care of out of court.  Or if there needs to be a court hearing,  at least Andrew Smallman may be able to get you a lighter sentence than if you wait.
