Probation Violations — What Can Be Done?
If you have been charged with violating your probation, the only fact that matters is whether or not you violated a condition of your release. Your past convictions should have no bearing on your current alleged probation violation. At the Saratoga Springs Law Offices of Gerard V. Amedio, we will protect your rights and help ensure your case is handled fairly.

If you have been charged with a probation violation, always talk to a criminal defense lawyer before you appear in Court. With serious potential consequences, you do not want to say anything that could weaken your case. In addition to going back to jail, you could face fines, community service, mandatory drug or alcohol counseling, or an extension of your probationary period.
As a criminal defense firm, we handle a wide range of cases in criminal court. As such, we protect the rights of people who are on probation for a number of reasons. If you have been charged with any type of probation violation, we can help:
- Failure to pay fines
- Failure to comply with terms of release: attending rehab or completing community service
- Missing meetings with probation officer
- Failure to appear in court
- Possession of illegal substance
- Weapons possession
- Committing a separate crime
- Failing drug tests
As a former police officer, attorney Gerard V. Amedio knows how seriously law enforcement officials take probation violations. He knows what police officers do to strengthen these cases and he knows how to investigate all angles of a case.
