Philadelphia Parole Violations and Probation Attorney
Parole or probation are types of criminal sentences that may involve work release, house arrest, electronic monitoring, or drug testing and usually require meetings with a probation or parole officer to ensure that you are complying with the terms of your sentence. Any violation of parole can result in additional sentencing and penalties that could send you to jail. At the Law Office of Barbara A. McDermott, I provide experienced and knowledgeable representation to protect my clients who have been accused of a parole or probation violation.
Parole and parole violations including new charges, failed drug tests, or failure to meet with a probation or parole officer can result in serious penalties, including an automatic jail sentence.
Call me today at 215-395-6976 or contact me via e-mail for an initial consultation or case evaluation. Protect your rights with advocacy you can trust.
Petitions for an Early Parole
Under certain circumstances, you may be able to seek early parole. If you are currently serving a criminal sentence, I can file a petition for early parole, a petition for early release from prison, sentence reductions, or earned/good time petition for good behavior. As your attorney, I will review your case record and history and present a compelling case for early parole to the court. I work with both criminal defendants and their families in seeking release from prison as quickly as possible.
Detainer Hearings and New Criminal Charges
If you are on probation or parole and get arrested on a new charge, you may face an extended jail term without bail on a detainer. As your attorney, I will provide aggressive and strategic defense from the moment of your arrest, through detainer hearings and trial, if necessary. It is important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible if you have violated your parole/probation or you may face very serious consequences, including a warrant for your arrest or automatic jail sentence.
