I may have violated my felony DUI probation in Orange County. Please Help!

First, you haven’t technically violated your felony DUI probation in Orange Countyuntil a judge makes a finding on the record that you have done so. That’s the key! You may have engaged in behavior that you feel may result in your probation being violated, but just like when you are charged with a criminal offense, you have a number of defenses available to you to defend yourself against a charge of a DUI probation violation. This is why you need a DUI probation violation attorney fighting for you.

Example: You are on 3 years formal probation for a felony DUI in Orange County DUI conviction when you find yourself charged with a DUI! You will find that the DA will charge you with 23152 (a) and (b) of the vehicle code and a probation violation. It’s possible that the misdemeanor conviction could result in a state prison sentence depending on the terms of your felony probation! This is why you should never concede a violation of probation. Our attorneys often get DUI charges dismissed or reduced. That, in turn, can result in the dismissal of the probation violation, and the avoidance of a lengthy jail term. If you are on felony probation for a DUI, one of the terms of your probation is not to drive with “ANY” alcohol in your system. This means that you can be sent to prison for the violation of probation even if your blood alcohol was below the legal limit to be guilty of a DUI. In many cases our clients have successfully raised the defense to a felony DUI probation violation that in fact they were not driving the vehicle. In other cases we have disputed the results of the chemical test and our clients have avoided jail time

This is why it is absolutely critical that you hire a skilled attorney to represent you for a felony DUI probation violation. The violation of probation—and potential jail or prison sentence may depend on the outcome of your DUI case.
