Description

In this episode of the Kelly & Kelly Law Podcast, Kevin from Borealis Digital Marketing is joined by criminal defense attorney Mike Kelly to discuss one of the most misunderstood and high-risk issues in Michigan criminal law: probation violations.

Mike explains what actually counts as a probation violation, the difference between technical and substantive violations, and what happens after a violation is alleged. We also cover the potential penalties including jail time, probation reinstatement, and alternative outcomes, along with how an experienced defense attorney can often reduce or avoid serious consequences.

If you’re on probation or worried about a possible violation, this episode provides clear, practical guidance on how Michigan courts handle these cases and what steps you should take immediately.
