Recently, a woman was charged with a felony probation violation. She was on probation and required to have her whereabouts electronically monitored. She allegedly was not where she was supposed to be for less than 30 minutes.
Typically, on felony violations of probation, defendants are not allowed to bond out pending the resolution of their case. Therefore, it is vital to have an attorney work quickly with the prosecutor, and that is what attorney Erika Valcarcel did. Attorney Valcarcel advocated for her client and got her released with only an extension of the house arrest and electronic monitoring.

Domestic Violence Charges Dismissed in 10 Days
When a client was arrested for battery after an altercation with his girlfriend, he immediately contacted attorney Erika Valcarcel. The client was adamant that the entire situation was a misunderstanding, but nevertheless he was looking at a domestic violence conviction and potentially up to a year in jail. We acted fast on his behalf and discussed the situation with the State attorney’s office. We informed the prosecutor that our client's girlfriend did not want to proceed and highlighted the weaknesses in their case. Once they were aware of these developments, we successfully arranged to have the charges dismissed. This was all before our client's first court date and impressively all done within 10 days of the initial arrest.
