Palm Beach County Probation and House Arrest Services

If you need to contact SOR, Probation or House Arrest services, the links and numbers below should help you make contact fast.

SOR is a type of pretrial supervised release option offered in Palm Beach County. Your first appearance judge may grant you a monetary bond and/or require you to be on SOR.

As a condition of bond, a defendant may need to be placed on house arrest. House arrest means that you are confined to your home. That decision will be determined by the first appearance judge and may be changed by your assigned judge.

Probation is common in criminal cases. It is an alternative to incarceration. If you are placed on probation, it is important that you acquire a copy of rules provided by probation. Failure to adhere to probation rules can cause you to be incarcerated. Govern yourself accordingly.

Being arrested is scary. You are lost. You are scared of the criminal justice system because you have heard stories of injustice. You have heard of good people that have been incarcerated for relatively minor crimes. Simultaneously, you have heard about other defendants that have committed serious crimes but they walked away with a slap on the wrist. How did that happen? Everyone says it's about hiring a highly rated criminal defense lawyer.

When Searching for the Best Criminal Defense Lawyer In Palm Beach County, It's important to seek the following criteria:

• Experience and Track Record: Look for a criminal defense lawyer who has extensive experience in handling cases similar to yours.
• Specialization and Expertise: Choose a lawyer who specializes specifically in criminal defense law. Specialization ensures that the lawyer possesses in-depth knowledge of relevant statutes, case law, and defense strategies pertinent to your case.
• Reputation and References: Investigate the lawyer's reputation within the legal community and among former clients. Positive reviews, testimonials, and references from previous clients can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism, communication skills, and ability to achieve favorable outcomes.
• Communication and Accessibility: Effective communication and accessibility are crucial factors in the attorney-client relationship. Choose a lawyer who communicates clearly, listens attentively to your concerns, and keeps you informed about the progress of your case. Accessibility is vital; ensure that the lawyer is responsive to your calls, emails, and inquiries in a timely manner.
• Trial Experience and Litigation Skills: While many criminal cases are resolved through negotiation or plea bargaining, it's essential to hire a lawyer who is proficient in motion litigation and trial. A skilled lawyer can confidently represent you in court, present compelling arguments, cross-examine witnesses, and effectively advocate for your rights and interests before a judge and jury.
