Rhode Island Probation Violation Defense Attorneys Who Fight to Win
Too Many Wins to Count. We Don't Back Down.
When you're facing a probation violation hearing, the stakes are high. Judges don't have to give you the benefit of the doubt. They don't have to offer you a second chance. A single accusation—whether it's a missed meeting, a failed drug test, or a new charge—could land you back behind bars. But that doesn't mean your case is hopeless.
At Manosh Payette Criminal Defense Attorneys, we fight probation violations in court with the same intensity as the underlying charges. We challenge every piece of evidence, demand the prosecution bring in witnesses, and push back against weak allegations. Too often, probation hearings rely on assumptions rather than facts—we make sure that doesn't happen to you.
How We Fight at Your Probation Violation Hearing
- Demanding Witness Testimony – We don't let the state rely on hearsay or weak reports. If they claim you violated probation, we demand the actual witnesses come in and testify.
- Cross-Examining the State's Evidence – We challenge every statement, every piece of evidence, and every assumption to expose weaknesses in their case.
- Forcing the Burden of Proof – Unlike a criminal trial, probation violations require only a “fair preponderance of evidence.” We fight to make sure the judge sees the holes in the prosecution's case.
- Presenting a Strong Defense – Whether through alibi evidence, expert testimony, or showing mitigating circumstances, we ensure your side of the story is heard.
- Pushing Back Against Overreach – The system is quick to assume guilt in probation cases. We fight aggressively to make sure the judge considers every reasonable doubt. You DO have some Constitutional rights at a violation hearing .
