# Do I have the right to an attorney at a probation violation hearing?

Yes. You have the right to be represented by an attorney at a Rhode Island probation violation hearing. Given the lower standard of proof, the absence of a jury, and the potential for immediate incarceration, having skilled legal representation at your hearing is not just a right, it is essential.
