If the answer to either of these questions is no, then why would you consider — no less attempt — to represent yourself before a skilled prosecutor who successfully obtained a judgment of conviction against you at trial and who will generally always oppose your parole, or represent yourself in front of a Board of Commissioners that are generally comprised of former law enforcement officers, former prosecutors, or otherwise go into the lions den without a lawyer in the presence of your victim(s) in your effort to convince the Board that you should not remain in prison for the rest of your life for crimes that you have been convicted of? 

In many cases a trained, skilled, experienced parole attorney can make the difference in the Board’s decision to either grant or deny parole. Every case is unique and different and as such each client’s case must be treated with precision, the case investigation and preparation of the client must be thorough, the attorney must have a full command of the current law and tailor their legal arguments to their client’s case. 

A competent parole lawyer will also assist you in creating a customized parole packet to help you satisfy the concerns and questions that the Board of Commissioners may have in your case and will prepare you to testify in support of parole.
