New York Parole Violation Attorneys

If you’ve been accused of a crime or have served time, you’re going to encounter probation, parole, and warrant hearings along the way. But what are these hearings? How can you make sure your rights are protected as you navigate the legal system?

First, a few definitions: "Probation" is a court-ordered period after release from jail, or in alternative to imprisonment, in which your movements and actions are restricted by the court. "Parole" is when you are released from jail prior to the time mandated by your sentence; during your release, you may have to follow court-mandated rules such as following the law or gaining employment. A "warrant" is a document issued that authorizes your arrest.

In all three types of hearings, the prosecutor presents evidence before the court, who assesses your flight risk, whether you should be arrested, or what terms your probation or parole should have. Every situation is different, and issues such as in-jail conflicts, good behavior, employment, family situation, etc. are taken into consideration by the court before a determination is made.

Unfortunately, these proceedings often leave something to be desired. You may be treated unfairly or given unreasonable terms. In order to protect your rights and make sure you are adequately represented, you should bring a qualified New York parole violation attorney with you to any and all probation, parole, and warrant application hearings. Your lawyer can also help you if you are accused of violating any of the terms of your probation or parole.

Your chances of prevailing could be greatly increased when there’s a good lawyer in your corner. But finding the right lawyer could be complicated.
