Obtain legal counsel as soon as possible. If you cannot afford private counsel request the court to appoint you a public defender at the arraignment. In such a case it is not advisable to use self-representation without being fully informed of your legal rights and the consequences to entering into an agreement with the state or entering a plea to the court.
Note to this: when approached by officer(s) say "I'm more than willing to co-operate but I feel more comfortable with it being arranged through my attorney" Say nothing else until explained to an attorney and let he/she speak on your behalf
violations depend on charges filed

My 16 year old son is charged with grand larceny this is his first offense what is going to happen to him?
He will have a set period of probation which is called a suspended sentence. If he completes his probation without getting in more trouble or getting a violation of probation then the charges will be dropped at the end of the probation period.
If you violated probation when you were 17 at what point will you be clear of the violation charges?
When your probation sentence ends.
If you have 10 years suspended sentence and you violate probation with a domestic violence do you serve the whole 10 years?
Probation is used to give a person a chance to not go to jail. A violation of the probation means that the judge can impose a new sentence that is likely to include jail or prison.
What if probation is broken when it was for a burglary charge?
I have committed a burglary on probation and got revoked and payed with my original sentence and the new sentence charges.
You received a felony on your record and it was suspended and you have three years probation How long will this be on your record?
Unless the offense was committed prior to your 18th birthday your adult record will always reflect your felony charge. Even though you might not have actually served jail time, probation IS a sentence after being found guilty. If you had been found not guilty or the charges were dismissed you would not have had to serve 3 years. Probation is not a "get out of jail free" card. I know that pretty hard core but some how you can. ADDED: See discussion page:
In FL can violation of probation charges be brought after probation period expires if the terms of probation aren't completed?
Yes, of course. If you never completed the terms of your probation, then it hasn't 'ended.' You must fulfill ALL the terms of your probation to the satisfaction of the court before you are released from your sentence.

How long can they keep you in detention centers if you have no charges and you only had a probation violation?
Probation is a sentence for being found guilty of a crime. So - therefore - you WERE found guilty of something. You are being held because you violated your sentence of probation which caused it to be revoked and converted to a jail term. You can remain in detention until the term of your sentence is completed.
What are the consequences of violating probation 3 times?
The presiding judge can 1. reinstate probation, 2. revoke probation and sentence to jail/prison for up to the time remaining on the probation (i.e. if felon A sentenced to two years probation on a charge allowing two years prison, and felon A has served one year of probation before violating, the maximum sentence at time of probation violation would be up to one year.) Part of what is stated above is not true. Lets say a person is given a two year suspended sentence and is placed on probation for two years. If they violate probation and get revoked after one year and eleven months on probation their sentence when executed is still two years. Another consequence is that in most jurisdictions there is no bail when picked up on a violation of probation charge. My cousin violated probation on a
What happens if you are on probation and you get charged with 2nd degree burglary?
Then you're in violation of your probation. If you'd been released before you sentence was complete, you'll be required to serve out the remainder of your sentence, on top of whatever time you're sentenced on the burglary charges.
What if you are arrested on other charges while serving a suspended imposition of sentence?
The other sentence is likely to be invoked, and you may be charged as an habitual offender on the second charge.
