Prosecutorial Insight: Facing a probation violation and revocation hearing in San Antonio means dealing with a system skewed heavily in favor of the state. Unlike a standard criminal trial, there is no jury, and the burden of proof is much lower. Having worked closely with the Bexar County Probation Department for over a decade, Oscar Salinas knows exactly how caseworkers and prosecutors evaluate a Motion to Revoke Probation (MTR) or a Motion to Adjudicate Guilt. He uses his inside knowledge of the local court system to present mitigating evidence, fight technical violations, and convince the judge to deny the state's motion so you can stay on probation and out of jail.
