Norristown, Pennsylvania Probation and Parole Lawyer

Loss of a job, failing a drug test, possessing a firearm, or being seen in the company of known felons can quickly result in a violation of the terms of your parole or probation. Failure to report a violation to your parole officer can result in re-arrest and an appearance before a judge who may decide to overturn your parole or probation. Since parole officers are often skeptical of the excuses they hear from those they supervise, it's unlikely they will serve as a strong advocate for you in court. As a criminal defense attorney with years of experience, my office protects the rights of those guilty of violating the terms of their parole or probation. I understand how to approach the court, ask for leniency, and help my clients avoid additional legal complications.

If you have questions regarding probation and parole violations and how to make things right again, contact criminal defense attorney Basil D. Beck today. I provide free, confidential consultations and can help you evaluate the legal options available to you.

Probation and Parole Violations

Violations of the terms of your probation or parole can involve any number of the following kinds of factors:

• Failure to notify parole officer if you move
• Unsupervised contact with your children
• Failure to tell parole officer of new job

• Failing a mandatory drug test
• Committing a new crime
• Purchase of a firearm
• Loss of employment
• Use of a computer

Protecting Your Rights and Interests: Dealing with Your Parole Officer

In my experience, parole officers and judges aren't interested in excuses. If you try and talk your way out of going back to jail by claiming you're innocent or not to blame, you'll likely end up facing a judge and jail time. However, in cases where an attorney is involved, presenting a well-prepared case to a parole officer and the court can make a difference.

As your probation and parole violations attorney, I work with the court in trying to keep you out of jail while exploring other sentencing options when available. Depending on the circumstances surrounding your case, I may be able to convince the court to drop the charges against you in exchange for more thorough oversight and communication between you and your parole officer or the court.
