Probation Violation Defense in Boston, Massachusetts

Being accused of violating probation in Massachusetts can have serious consequences. Depending on the circumstances and the underlying case, a probation violation may result in additional conditions, an extension of probation, or the possibility of incarceration.

The Law Office of Nicholas Frye represents individuals facing probation violation allegations in Boston and throughout Massachusetts. Our downtown Boston office is located at 18 Tremont Street, Suite 602, just steps from the courts. We also maintain a satellite office in Brighton.

A probation violation allegation may arise from a missed appointment, a failed drug or alcohol test, a new criminal charge, failure to complete a court-ordered program, or an alleged violation of another condition of probation. The circumstances surrounding the allegation and the available evidence can be important in determining how the matter proceeds.

Probation Violation Allegations We Defend

Probation violation proceedings can involve a variety of alleged violations, including:

  • Failure to report to a probation officer
  • Missed probation appointments
  • Failed drug or alcohol tests
  • Failure to complete court-ordered treatment or programs
  • Failure to pay court-ordered fines, fees, or restitution
  • Alleged violations of no-contact or stay-away conditions
  • Allegations of new criminal conduct
  • Failure to comply with other conditions imposed by the court

Probation Violation Hearings in Massachusetts

When a probation violation is alleged, the court may schedule a probation violation hearing to consider the allegations. The process is different from a new criminal trial, and the court evaluates whether the alleged violation has been established under the applicable legal standard.

The circumstances of the alleged violation, the probation conditions, the evidence presented, and the individual’s history of compliance may all be relevant to the court’s decision.

An attorney can review the allegations, examine the available evidence, and address the circumstances surrounding the claimed violation.
