If you’ve been charged with a crime in Denver, your mind is probably racing with questions: Will I go to jail? Is there any way to avoid it? The good news is that probation might be an option in your case, allowing you to serve your sentence in the community rather than behind bars. Want to know if you might qualify? Understanding how the probation system works in Denver can make all the difference when you’re fighting for your freedom.
Probation is a court-ordered sentence where a defendant avoids time behind bars but must follow strict conditions set by the court. It’s like being given a chance to prove you can stay out of trouble while serving your sentence in the community rather than in jail.
In Denver, misdemeanors like DUI, minor drug offenses, and theft are often eligible for probation, as are some non-violent felonies. However, violent crimes such as assault, sexual offenses, and severe repeat offenses are typically ineligible for probation.
Probation comes with strings attached—conditions you must follow to stay out of jail. These conditions are tailored to the specifics of your case, but here are some common ones:
For more severe cases, special conditions may be added, such as:
Failing to meet these conditions can result in a probation violation, which could send you to jail to serve the remainder of your sentence behind bars. Having an attorney guide you through this process can ensure you don’t unintentionally violate any terms.
Probation might be an option in your case, but getting there requires a strategic defense. At The Law Office of Jacob Martinez, we know the Denver court system and how to position you for the best possible outcome.
