Boston Probation Violation Lawyers

After a person is convicted of a crime in Massachusetts, part of the sentence may include a period of probation. The probationer must adhere to terms and conditions ordered by the Court. Probationary terms require checking in with his or her probation officer on a regular basis, abstaining from being arrested or committing further crimes. Probationers also often must pay restitution, perform community service, and be subject to alcohol or drug testing.
