(DMT) has extensive experience successfully defending probation violation cases. A probation violation is fundamentally different than a new criminal case. There is already a plea or a verdict in place, which means that the underlying case is closed. The standard of proof in an open criminal case is beyond a reasonable doubt. Once the case is closed and a defendant is placed on probation, there is no right to jury trial and the judge will determine whether or not the defendant violated his/her probation. Although a probation violation case is a sticky situation, the Miami Beach probation violation lawyers at DMT can help.

M A - Coconut Grove, FLNovember 02, 2025

I am a senior citizen who was falsely accused by a malicious individual, which resulted in a very harsh police and detective report that could have resulted in my imprisonment. I should mention that I am a law-abiding citizen that had an immaculate background record up to that incident, and never had any problem with law enforcement.

While I was detained, I had to appear before a judge and the judge recommended for me to get lawyer representation based on the charges. Therefore, my family went ahead and contacted Mr. Larry McMillan, from the Law Offices of "Donet, McMillan & Trontz." He immediately made an incredible defense and drastically was able to reduce the amount of the bail bond.

I was then released from the detention center. The next day, while I was still in a shock state of mind because of the incident, I visited McMillan's office. I was greeted in a professional and friendly manner by him and his paralegal, Ms. Marlene. Mr McMillan patiently explained everything about my case and assured me that everything would be fine, and I would not be going to jail. I immediately knew I was in the hands of a professional and knowledgeable attorney and, honestly, I got a sense of relief!

He provided me exceptional service during a very difficult time. Once he took on my case, I was able to sit back and let him handle it. He had taken all the information I had given him and went to work with it immediately. He was always available to answer any questions I had and responded promptly to all my emails and phone calls. Marlene also was an asset by the way she always treated me in a respectable and professional manner, was exceptionally helpful as well and she always brightened my day when I spoke with her.

Finally, Mr. McMillan managed to get all the charges against me dropped, I was not convicted and the case was closed with good results. Mr. McMillan is a very professional, experienced, but more importantly, he is super easy to talk to and genuinely understanding, plus he has a great sense of humor which helped me a lot. I highly recommend attorney Larry McMillan to anyone in need of an outstanding legal representation.

It is also important to know that it's easier for state or federal prosecutors to prove probation violation than it is to convict an individual at trial. This is another reason you need experienced Miami Beach probation violation lawyers in your corner. With a probation violation, you can be held in custody without bond until the date of your probation hearing, where a judge, not a jury, will hear your case. The standard of proof is different here, so the prosecution only has to prove your case by a preponderance of evidence, not by guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The criminal attorneys at Donet, McMillan & Trontz. have the experience and reputation you need when you are facing a probation violation.
