Each of the attorneys at Donet, McMillan & Trontz. (DMT) has extensive experience successfully defending probation violation cases. A probation violation is fundamentally different than a new criminal case. There is already a plea or a verdict in place, which means that the underlying case is closed. The standard of proof in an open criminal case is beyond a reasonable doubt. Once the case is closed and a defendant is placed on probation, there is no right to jury trial and the judge will determine whether or not the defendant violated his/her probation. Although a probation violation case is a sticky situation, the North Miami Beach probation violation lawyers at DMT can help.

Attorney Larry McMillan was absolutely fantastic! He was professional, highly knowledgeable, and showed genuine care throughout the entire process. His expertise and compassionate approach made a challenging situation much easier to navigate, and I felt confident and supported every step of the way. A special thanks to his paralegal, MC, whose efficiency, attention to detail, and warm demeanor truly complemented the excellent service provided by the team. Marlene Collazo made sure everything ran smoothly and was always ready to assist with any questions I had.

I highly recommend Attorney Larry McMillan and his team to anyone in need of outstanding legal representation.

Something else to keep in mind is that it is easier for a state or federal prosecutor to prove probation violation than it is to convict an individual at trial. When you face a probation violation, you are likely to be held in custody without bond while you wait for a probation violation hearing. During your hearing, your case will be heard by a judge. The standard of proof is much different here. During a trial, the prosecutor has to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. With a probation violation hearing, the prosecution only has to prove the case by a preponderance of evidence. There are two types of probation violations, substantive and technical. The North Miami Beach probation violation lawyers at DMT have the experience necessary to handle both types successfully. The criminal attorneys at Donet, McMillan & Trontz. have the experience and reputation you need when you are facing a probation violation.
