Should I Hire A Parole Lawyer?

The parole lawyers of www.parole-package.com have many years of experience with the preparation of parole packages. The complex rules of The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles make it very difficult for the average person to effectively present the information the Board badly wants, including a proper calculation of the assessment factors, as well as a proper presentation of supporting documentation. Merely writing letters of support is seldom enough. Free Consultation

Stop by, and we'll show you many successful sample packages and discuss the particularized needs of your loved one.

IMPORTANT! The earlier we can start on a parole package prior to eligibility, the better the results. Please try to give us a year to work on the package, as the Board rules now require submission of the parole package six months prior to eligibility. Free Consultation

The odds of obtaining parole are much higher with a skilled lawyer!

Parole of prisoners is handled by The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles. Although the official position of the Board is that a prisoner is not required to hire a parole attorney when seeking parole, the overwhelming evidence suggests that a parole package cannot be successfully put together by a prisoner or his or her family; you need to hire the best parole lawyer. We know what the Board wants to hear, and perhaps nearly as important, we know what the Board does not want to hear. This is because an experienced parole law firm can objectively examine the facts concerning the particular applicant, organize the information in conformity with Board rules and present it to the Board in a logical, accurate and persuasive manner. Since a special form regarding legal fees must be filed timely, compliance with the rules is critical. Free Consultation

Revocation

Since probation is a conditional release, it can be revoked, or taken away, if the conditions governing release are not met (technical violation) or if a new crime is committed during the probationary period (new offense). Free Consultation

Probation revocation is initiated by the probation officer's belief that a violation warranting revocation has occurred. As a result of the 1973 case Gagnon v. Scarpelli (411 U.S. 778), the Supreme Court decided that where "liberty interests" are involved, probationers are entitled to retain certain due process rights. Such rights include: (1) written notification of the alleged violations; (2) preliminary (or PROBABLE CAUSE) HEARING at which a judicial authority will determine whether sufficient probable cause exists to pursue the case; and (3) if warranted, a revocation hearing. Free Consultation

If a revocation hearing is scheduled, probationers have the right to TESTIFY in their own behalf, may present witnesses, and may have an attorney present. While the Gagnon court was vague regarding the right to court appointed COUNSEL at a revocation hearing, most jurisdictions do provide the right to appointed counsel. Free Consultation

The standard of proof required at a revocation hearing is a "preponderance of the evidence", lower than that required at a criminal trial. Possible outcomes include return to supervision, reprimand with restoration to supervision, or revocation with IMPRISONMENT. Free Consultation
