As mandated by Florida Statute 775.0843(2), State Attorneys’ offices across Florida have established Career Criminal Units (CCUs) to focus on prosecuting repeat offenders who pose a significant threat to public safety. These specialized units are staffed by experienced prosecutors who handle cases involving defendants with extensive criminal histories.
Instead of serving out your sentence in prison, you are free to return to your daily life as long as you abide by the terms of probation set forth by the judge. If you violate the terms of your probation in any way, you will be charged for a probation violation.
In the eyes of a judge, probation is considered a more favorable option, since you do not have to spend any time in jail. When a person violates their probation, the judge will not hesitate to impose stricter probationary guidelines and additional legal penalties, including jail. Therefore, if you are facing legal ramifications for violating your probation, it’s in your best interest to speak an experienced Orlando criminal attorney as soon as possible. A criminal attorney who has experience in this area of criminal law will know how to properly defend you in court, as well as how to help you avoid further legal penalties.
