What to Expect When you Reach Out

You'll begin with a focused consultation where we examine the alleged violation, your probation history, and any mitigating circumstances. Fort Lauderdale courts schedule VOP hearings rapidly, often within days of the warrant or notice, so preparation time is limited and must be used strategically.

Golburgh Law reviews your case file, communicates with your probation officer when appropriate, and develops arguments that highlight compliance efforts or external factors. Immediate help is available for VOP hearings, ensuring you're not navigating the process alone. We also explore alternative programs such as treatment facilities, community service extensions, or modified supervision terms.

Our team coordinates with local probation offices to gather documentation, witness statements, and compliance records that support your defense. We prepare you for testimony, cross-examination, and the specific expectations of judges presiding over revocation matters in Broward County.

Clients often have pressing questions about timelines, outcomes, and what happens if the court finds a violation. Here are answers to the most common concerns we hear in Fort Lauderdale.

Key Benefits of This Service

A warrant is typically issued immediately, and you may be taken into custody without bond. Attending with legal representation is critical to avoid automatic revocation.
What happens if I miss my VOP hearing?
Yes, many technical violations are resolved through modified terms, extended probation, or alternative programs. We negotiate with prosecutors using your compliance history and documented efforts.
Can I avoid jail time for a technical violation?
Most hearings last between 30 minutes and two hours, depending on witness testimony and evidence. Fort Lauderdale judges often rule the same day.
How long does a VOP hearing take?
The standard of proof is lower than a criminal trial. Hearsay, probation officer reports, and test results are all admissible and must be challenged effectively.
What evidence can be used against me?
Not automatically. The judge has discretion to reinstate probation, modify terms, or impose the original suspended sentence. Your defense strategy directly influences this decision.
Will my original sentence be reinstated?
