New Jersey Parole Revocation Lawyers
The violation of your parole or probation is a serious matter. Whether you have been accused of violating a drug test, violating restrictions on travel, or failing to attend required meetings, a violation of your probation or parole can have steep consequences. At a time like this, you need the assistance of an experienced criminal defense attorney. The Lawrenceville law firm of Markowitz Gravelle, LLP, defends people across Mercer County and the surrounding areas of New Jersey who have been accused of violating their probation or parole.
Working to Achieve a Favorable Outcome After a Probation Violation
If you are accused of violating the terms of your probation, you must immediately understand that you do not have the same constitutional rights. In an alleged probation violation, you do not have the right to be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. You do not have the right to be tried by a jury of your peers.
In a probation hearing, it will be your word against your probation officer. In most cases, the judge will accept the word of your probation officer over you. Our defense attorneys can discuss your alleged violations with your probation officer prior to any hearing. In many cases, we can emphasize to your probation officer that your violations, if any, were an uncharacteristic lapse, and that you are committed to completing the terms of your probation.
Assisting People Accused of Violating Their Parole
Parole violations are gravely serious, and can result in your return to prison. Our lawyers will present a compelling argument on your behalf to the parole board. If the facts of your alleged violation are in question, we will show that the allegations are false. On the other hand, if the violation is not in dispute, we will argue that repeated violations are not likely.
