Probation Violations 

The results of a sentence can often lead to probation. Violating the terms of probation can place an individual in a tough spot and create further issues and sentencing. 

Many individuals that are alleged to have violated their probation don’t realize they can partake in a contested hearing that allows them to dispute the alleged violations. Whether you or someone you love is dealing with probation, conditional release, or supervised release violations — Cline Jensen, PLLC. can help.

While paying a traffic violation may seem like the easiest option, it’s sometimes not the smartest.

Moving violations are defendable or negotiable, and an experienced traffic offense attorney can help you achieve a resolution that fits your best interests. We’ll help you fight for your case.
