Why Was Your Probation Revoked?

Whatever the reason for the motion to revoke your parole or probation, our firm will be there to represent you. There are many reasons why a person’s parole or probation may be revoked.

These may include:

You failed to remain in contact with your probation or parole officer
You failed a drug test or alcohol test
You failed to complete your community service hours
You failed to pay a fine or restitution
You are accused of a new offense

In probation and parole violations, the State has a lower burden of proof. It is easier for them to convict you. Unlike in a criminal trial where the State must prove your crime beyond a reasonable doubt, your probation revocation hearing only requires proof through the preponderance of the evidence—a standard that requires less convincing evidence.

What Does A Parole Lawyer Do?

A parole lawyer specializes in representing individuals who are seeking parole or facing parole-related issues. Parole is the supervised release of a prisoner before the completion of their sentence, subject to certain conditions and under the supervision of a parole officer. Parole lawyers help clients navigate the parole process and advocate for their interests before parole boards or other relevant authorities.

Here are some common tasks and responsibilities of parole lawyers:

Parole eligibility assessment: Parole lawyers review their clients' cases to determine their eligibility for parole based on factors such as the nature of the offense, the length of the sentence served, the inmate's behavior in prison, and other relevant criteria.
Preparation for parole hearings: Parole lawyers prepare their clients for parole hearings by advising them on how to present themselves, gathering evidence of their rehabilitation and readiness for release, and developing a strategy to make a compelling case for parole.
Representation at parole hearings: Parole lawyers represent their clients at parole hearings, presenting evidence and arguments in support of their clients' release on parole. They advocate for their clients' suitability for parole and address any concerns raised by the parole board.
Advocacy for parole approval: Parole lawyers advocate for their clients' interests before the parole board, emphasizing factors such as their clients' rehabilitation efforts, participation in programs aimed at reducing recidivism, and plans for successful reintegration into society.
Post-parole issues: Parole lawyers may also assist clients with post-parole issues, such as compliance with parole conditions, addressing parole violations, and seeking early termination of parole supervision.

Overall, parole lawyers play a crucial role in helping individuals navigate the parole process and work towards successful reintegration into society after serving a portion of their sentence. They advocate for their clients' rights and interests throughout the parole process, aiming to secure their clients' release on parole and support their successful transition back into the community.

How We Can Help

Under Georgia law, probation and parole are regarded as a privilege, not a right. However, the risk of imprisonment on a probation or parole violation usually only comes up if you are accused of violating a condition of probation or parole, or you are arrested for a new offense. If you find yourself in either situation, contact us about your legal options and to minimize the possibility of prison.

If you’ve been accused of violating your probation or parole, or you believe there may be a warrant out for your arrest, contact Crawford and Boyle, LLC, today and let us defend your case. We can go over the charges against you to help you plan an effective defense for your situation.

"He didn’t judge me."
My first time hiring any lawyer in my lifetime, the first thing I felt was trustworthy. He made me feel at ease. He answered all my e-mails, answer all my questions. He always informed me of what's going on with my case, explained in terms I was able to understand. He didn’t make me feel like I was being attacked by anyone (ex. District Attorneys). He didn’t judge me. He fought for me every step of the way and made sure I got the best outcome for my situation. He went up and beyond my expectations.

"Charges dropped prior to entering a court room."
I hired Mr. Boyle to help with my fiance and his case that was not looking good due to the fact that he had previous charges of the same. Mr. Boyle was able to tell us what he could do to help us and more than follow through. Mr. Boyle successfully was able to get the charges dropped prior to entering a court room. He called us every step of the way, and although I hope we never have to use him again, he will be the only lawyer that I would trust to deliver for myself, family, or anyone else.

"Without his help, our son would have fallen victim to the prison system."
David helped our son deal with an extremely difficult case in 2 different countries and advised us on another one. He kept us informed as to what was going on and what we needed to do next. Without his help, our son would have fallen victim to the prison system. Instead, he was given much-needed rehabilitation and has been given a 2nd chance at life. David is a real person and extremely easy to communicate with. Always available to answer questions. I sincerely appreciate his patience with our family.

"Put my fears to rest and guided me throughout the process."
I was charged with a DUI in Georgia July 2013. One Saturday morning I met Mr. Boyle at his office in Lawrenceville to talk over my charges. I knew I was in good hands when he began to explain my options. He went through every detail about the case, weighing its strengths, weaknesses and was upfront with me. Mr. Boyle is very professional and knowledgeable about the law which put my fears to rest and guided me throughout the process. I would highly recommend him if you have been unfortunate like me and need representation.

"Our case was completely dismissed and never even went to court."
My son was involved in a traffic stop that could have had severe consequences. He had not used good judgment about some items he had allowed to be present in his car, though none were directly involved with his driving performance or the reason for the traffic stop. I knew I needed good legal representation to help us through this situation, as we were facing charges that could have damaged his future. Once I talked with Eric Crawford, I felt really good about our chances for our defense. Mr. Crawford thoroughly proved that the entire stop was illegally performed and that an overzealous officer had completely overstepped his legal authority in the situation. Our case was completely dismissed and never even went to court. We’re very thankful for Mr. Crawford’s professional expertise as it was on full display in assisting us in our case. I would not hesitate one moment to call upon Crawford and Boyle if I needed legal assistance. I urge you to do the same!

"Refunded me 80% of my retainer when he didn’t have to!"
When I hired Mr. Crawford it was for early termination of my probation. He talked to me and explained everything to me from where he was going to start and what I would have to do to what would hopefully be the end result. After paying the retainer he started pulling court files and found that my probation had already been terminated and no one had informed me, Mr. Crawford emailed me and told me the great news and refunded me 80% of my retainer when he didn’t have to!!!

Mr. Crawford is hands down the best defense lawyer. I put my faith in him to represent me in a case that would eventually make its way to the highest court in the state. Obtaining a reversal and eventual dismissal of my case. When your future is hanging in the balance, Mr. Crawford is someone you want on your side. He and his staff were always professional and ready to answer my questions. I felt Mr. Crawford would fight for me and do whatever was necessary to get the best possible outcome. (and he did!)
