Re: Probation

Yes and no. The State may not be able to violate a Defendant who has not yet been placed on probation but the Judge can revoke an order of probation at any time during the "legal" term of probation if the state proves that a willful and substantial violation has occurred. See. Martin v. State 243 So.2d 189

Feel free to give me a ring, I have an office in Fort Myers.
