Aggressive Allegheny County Bonds & Detainer Lifts Lawyer
A skilled criminal defense attorney can make all the difference if you or your loved one was accused of a probation violation. This is a particularly challenging area of the law. Prosecutors are not held to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the probation terms were violated. Instead, the standard of proof is the preponderance of evidence in probation hearings.

If you are accused of failing to fulfill the terms of your probation, I will act quickly to mitigate any potential damages during the probation hearing. I am an aggressive defense attorney prepared to advocate in your best interests.
I am here to fight back on your behalf. My reputation for taking an aggressive stance will be invaluable in protecting your rights. Contact my law firm in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, today to schedule a consultation.
Defending Against Probation Violations
Since 1990, I have practiced exclusively in criminal defense throughout western Pennsylvania. I have defended many clients facing probation violations when convicted of serious crimes, such as:
- Sex offenses
- Drunk driving and drug crimes
- Assault, battery and domestic violence
- Armed robbery, theft and burglary
- Murder, manslaughter and other violent crimes
- White collar crimes, including money laundering
Even though I have defended many people accused of violating the terms of their probation, I never make any assumptions in a case. I will offer a detailed focus to understand the allegations against you.
Part of my focus includes working with your probation officer to identify any misconceptions about your progress. I will not hesitate to advocate that you did, in fact, fulfill the terms of your probation. For example, if you are on probation for drunk driving, I will act quickly to understand why you are accused of a probation violation. I may be able to resolve a misunderstanding, for example, through presenting the proper paper work to show that you completed the treatment program.
I am also a skilled negotiator prepared to explain why you possibly violated the probation terms. For example, if a medical complication or family emergency affected your ability to complete part of probation, I will provide evidence to support your claim. I will not hesitate to explain the right steps you have taken in an effort to mitigate any potential damages.
