We seek the best possible outcome on behalf of each and every client. You are never just a number at our firm. For many people convicted of a crime, probation is a welcome option.

- Regular "check ins" with your probation officer
- Abstaining from committing crimes
- Community service
- Attending drug/alcohol treatment or counseling
- Paying criminal restitution
- Abstaining from alcohol and drugs
Violation of probation terms can result in an arrest and penalties. You may be required to appear in court. Attorney Reno defends clients in both types of probation violation hearings: detention hearings and final surrender hearings. At the detention hearing, the court will decide whether you should be held in jail without bail until the final hearing. At the final hearing, the court will decide whether you were in violation of the terms of your probation.
