DUI Probation Violations in Los Angeles
Los Angeles DUI Defense Lawyer
If you were convicted of DUI in Los Angeles, the court most likely granted probation. Probation allows you to avoid imprisonment if you agree to abide by certain terms for a specified period of time. If you fail to fulfill certain requirements or otherwise violate the terms of your probation, you may face charges of a DUI probation violation. This is a serious matter that may result in the revocation of probation and time in jail or prison.
