It doesn’t take much.
You or a loved one has been released on probation and you feel free
again. Keep in mind that probation is
just what it says it is - and you are on a short leash. The first thing that must be done in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts is to sign a probation contract. These are the terms and conditions that the
judge has set and are NOT open to much if any interpretation.
A typical charge, for example, is possession of a controlled
substance. In a situation such as this a
person may be ordered to submit to frequent random drug tests and be drug free
at every one of them. Now if you play
fast and loose with this caveat and test “dirty” you may now be subject to
extended probation or even jail time!
The idea of probation is to give someone the opportunity to
atone for being convicted without doing jail time. You cannot take this opportunity
lightly. If you or a loved one has been
served with an initial surrender notice for violating probation you need to act
quickly. Contact Salem Massachusetts probation
violation attorney Paul R. Moraski at (978) 744-1200.
