What Our Clients Say

Don’t just take our word for it—see what our clients have to say about working with us.

Mr. Brandon Fitz of Crawford and Boyle Law Firm is the main reason why I encouraged my granddaughter to go with this firm. He’s very knowledgeable and personable. He listened to what you had to say and responded accordingly. He always returned my calls answered my emails and text messages. He answered every question I had and made me feel assured. I would use him again if the need arose. I highly recommend Mr. Fitz. The staff were always pleasant as well.

David was fast, kept me well informed, and was on time at my court date. I will be using him again if I ever need a lawyer, and I have recommended him to a few people already.

David kept me informed throughout the whole process. He was very helpful in getting me the lowest fines and punishment for my crime. I am thankful one of my customers introduced me to him. He even helped get me out of a sticky situation, after my original conviction.

Probation Warrants

Whatever the reason, our firm will be there to represent you from allegations that you have violated your probation. There are many reasons why a person’s probation may be revoked or violated.

 

These may include:

  • You failed to remain in contact with your probation or parole officer.
  • You failed a drug test or alcohol test.
  • You failed to complete your community service hours or other classes.
  • You failed to pay a fine or restitution.
  • You are accused of committing a new offense.

 

Lower Standard of Proof in Revocation Hearings

In probation violations, the State has a lower burden of proof. It is easier for them to convict you. Unlike in a criminal trial where the State must prove your crime beyond a reasonable doubt, your probation revocation hearing only requires proof through the preponderance of the evidence—a standard that requires less convincing evidence. Additionally, there is no right to a jury trial, and a judge in the Gwinnett County Superior Court, State Court, or Municipal Court will make the determination.

 

Can I end my probation early in Georgia?

Yes, if you are serving probation and have completed all the terms of your sentence, i.e., paid your fines and supervision fees, and completed any required classes, you can request for your probation to terminate. It is discretionary with the court but is granted much of the time. If your sentence was longer than three years chances are the court will end it at three years if you have done everything.

 

Fight for Your Freedom – Contact Crawford and Boyle, LLC

Under Georgia law, probation is regarded as a privilege, not a right. However, the risk of imprisonment on a probation violation usually only comes up if you are accused of violating a condition of probation, or you are arrested for a new offense. If you find yourself in either situation, contact us about your legal options to minimize the possibility of prison.

 

If you’ve been accused of violating your probation or you believe there may be a warrant out for your arrest, contact Crawford and Boyle, LLC, today, and let us defend your case. We can go over the charges against you to help you plan an effective defense for your situation.

What is the difference between probation and parole in Georgia?

While both involve community supervision, probation is a judicial sentence handed down by a judge (such as in Gwinnett County Superior or State Court) as an alternative to prison. Parole is conditional early release from state prison granted by the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles.

Probation revocations are decided in court by a judge, while parole revocations are handled through administrative hearings before the State Parole Board. Our attorneys represent clients in both local probation hearings and Georgia parole violation proceedings.
