Courtroom Argument Scene

Facing charges or a probation violation in Cameron County? Time matters.

Motion to Adjudicate & Motion to Revoke

Got a notice in the mail? That means the State wants to put you back in front of a judge — and they can ask for jail time.

​

Call me before that hearing happens. There's usually more we can do than you think — but not if you wait.

Violation of Probation

A missed check-in or a failed test doesn't have to mean handcuffs. But it can if nobody's in your corner.

​

I get in front of it early — before the warrant, before the hearing. That's when it matters most.

If your motion was filed in Cameron County, the process and timeline can differ — call before your hearing date.

Criminal Justice FAQs

Quick answers to the questions we hear most—so you know what to do next.

Arrested—what’s the first move Janie recommends?

If you are arrested, you may choose to remain silent and request to speak with an attorney. Anything you say may be used during legal proceedings.

Will a conviction affect my job, license, or immigration status?

Criminal cases are reviewed based on factors such as the circumstances of the arrest, evidence, and applicable legal procedures. Each case is different.

How does Janie fight to get charges reduced or dismissed?

By challenging the stop, evidence, and procedure behind every arrest. Sometimes the key to freedom is buried in the details.

Can a motion to adjudicate lead to jail time?

Yes. If a motion to adjudicate is granted, the judge may impose jail or prison time based on the original charge and the alleged violations. Because outcomes can change quickly, it’s important to speak with Janie as soon as possible.

How soon should I call a lawyer after being arrested?

Immediately. The sooner your defense begins, the stronger your position becomes. Call (956) 793-5033 for a same-day consultation.

Can Janie Jaimez help if I already have a public defender?

Yes. You’re entitled to hire private counsel at any point if you want more time, strategy, or communication. Request a confidential review of your case today.
