Parole Violations
If you or someone you know has been arrested for a violation of parole, contact the law office of the Stockton criminal attorney as soon as possible.
In the state of California, an offender on parole remains in the custody of the state, just within the community and under official supervision. One violation of parole is enough to give the parole board cause to take you away from your newfound freedom and put you back in prison.
A violation of parole could be:
- Missing a meeting with your parole officer
- An arrest during your period of parole
- Missing a course or treatment meeting assigned to you per your parole agreement
- Drug offenses (including possession of drugs)
- Possession of a firearm
- Traveling or moving out of the state of California
- Being found in the company of known felons
- And much more...
Hire an Experienced Stockton Criminal Attorney
Following your violation of parole, you will meet with the commissioner of the Board of Parole Hearings who will decide your fate. It is very important that an experienced attorney be by your side during this hearing, as a judge will not be present.
The maximum time a parolee can spend in prison is 12 months, but if a crime was committed during your period of parole, more time could be added. The Stockton criminal attorney will negotiate on your behalf for the least amount of punishment possible.
If you are facing a parole violation, contact the law office of the Stockton criminal attorney today to discuss the next steps of your case.
