If you violate your DWI probation, you may face serious consequences including jail time, extended probation, additional fines, community service, or mandatory alcohol treatment programs. A hearing to test the violation of your probation will be set by the court during which they will decide whether you truly breached the laws, and the punishment to be meted out. Consequences depend upon how serious the violation is and based upon your compliance record.
Yes, you can be arrested for violating your DWI probation. The court or your probation officer may also give you a warrant to be arrested in case he or they feel that you have broken your probation terms. They might arrest you and detain you until the time you have a probation violation hearing. In other instances though, there is the possibility of you being served with a summons to attend court rather than be instantly taken to custody.
Absolutely. Aggravated DWI is a serious crime with severe penalties including up to one year in jail. What you require is a lawyer experienced in defending such cases and knows how to defend them so that your rights are not neglected.
