Practice Areas

PAROLE
RELEASE

Parole Packets or Presentations to the Board for Release to Parole and Discretionary Mandatory Supervision.

Each voter for the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles votes over fourteen thousand (14,000) cases a year. It is a process very much like an assembly line.

A lawyer-created parole packet or presentation, coupled with a personal interview with the first voter on your loved one’s case, slows down the “assembly line” and personalizes the client’s story.

Every client has a story. Make sure that story is shown to the Board.

PAROLE
REVOCATIONS

Not all violations should put your loved one back in prison. I can help with that.

Parole or Mandatory Supervision is not a right. It is freedom that is earned. It is precious. But, it is a freedom that can be taken away because of a parolee’s mistakes.

Revocation hearings are a right of all persons on parole.

Do not waive the right to a hearing. Even the waiver form says, “your supervision can, and in all likelihood, will be revoked.”

Every parolee needs to tell his side of the story as to why violations might have occurred. Representation by Counsel is the best way to protect parolees’ rights and effectively present the case or reinstatement of parole, or a graduated sanction.

Proper representation can mean the difference between remaining free or going back to prison.
