Inkster Probation Violation Attorney

If you’ve been accused of violating probation in Inkster, Michigan, you may be facing serious consequences—including jail time, extended probation, or even the reinstatement of your original sentence. Whether the alleged violation is technical or substantive, the stakes are high and the court has broad discretion in how to respond.

At the Law Office of Julian J. Poota, PLLC, we understand how stressful and uncertain this situation can be. With over 20 years of experience in criminal defense and probation violation hearings across Wayne County, we provide strategic, effective representation to protect your freedom and limit the consequences.

Common Types of Probation Violations

We defend clients accused of a wide range of probation violations, including:

• Missing a probation appointment or drug/alcohol test
• Testing positive for drugs or alcohol
• New criminal charges while on probation
• Failure to complete court-ordered programs (e.g., therapy, community service)
• Traveling without permission or violating curfew
• Failure to pay fines, costs, or restitution
• Violation of no-contact orders or terms of probation

Some violations are simple misunderstandings. Others are more serious—but all deserve a strong defense.

Consequences of a Probation Violation in Michigan

If the court determines that a violation occurred, possible outcomes include:

• Revocation of probation
• Imposition of original jail or prison sentence
• Additional jail time
• Extended probation or more restrictive terms
• Increased fines or community service
• Mandatory treatment or counseling

Probation violations are often easier for the prosecution to prove than new charges—you don’t need to be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt—which is why strong legal representation is essential.

How We Defend Probation Violations in Inkster

Attorney Julian J. Poota is experienced in defending probationers at violation hearings and negotiating favorable resolutions. Strategies include:

• Presenting evidence of compliance or mitigating circumstances
• Challenging the accuracy of alleged violations (such as faulty drug tests)
• Arguing for continued probation rather than incarceration
• Negotiating with probation officers and prosecutors before court
• Ensuring due process and protecting your rights throughout the hearing

We aim to keep you out of jail, preserve your probation status, and help you move forward successfully.
