Utah Defense Attorney: Probation Violations
In most criminal matters, a defendant has a right to a jury trial. Additionally, every defendant cannot be found guilty of an offense unless the evidence shows beyond a reasonable doubt that he or she committed the crime.
However, in a hearing to determine whether a person violated the terms of their probation, there is no right to a jury. Rather, a judge hears arguments from the prosecution and the defense.
In this unique type of case, it is critical to have an attorney who understands the system, knows the local prosecutors and understands what to expect. If you have been accused of a probation violation in Salt Lake City or the surrounding areas, you can find the experienced legal representation you need at the law firm of Catherine R. Cleveland.
