Do I Need a Parole Violation Attorney?
Most California Parole violations can result in a return to prison for up to one year. Also, based on your parole commitment offense, the violation range of the alleged parole violation, and even the discretion of the Board of Prison Hearings, you may not receive any time credits while serving your violation, efectively serving "flat time." (Penal Code §3057).
If you or your family member is facing a parole violation, contact an experienced Sacramento parole violation defense attorney at the Law Office of Wraymond K. Plummer. We protect people's futures while defending their rights in California.
Non-Revocable Parole
On January 25, 2010, the rules governing parole revocations changed. Now, some parolees cannot be returned to prison for violating their parole. Unless you fall within one of the listed criteria in Penal Code §3000.03, you are on non-revocable parole if your violation occured after January 25, 2010.

A Parole Violation Is Not a Conviction
Just because you or your family member has been charged with a parole violation does not mean that he or she actually did violate their parole or committed the violation they are being charged with. Hanging out with the wrong crowd, being in the wrong place at the wrong time, stereotyping, and prejudice can all play a role in unfairly targeting parolees for a parole violation hearing or parole revocation proceeding.

Why Work with a Lawyer Who Regularly Practices Parole Violation and Parole Revocation Defense?

Your Legal Team Seeks Remedial Sanctions
We work closely with parolees and their families to provide a vigorous defense when possible, or alternatives to incarceration that can help turn a life around when necessary. We represent parolees charged with a wide range of parole violations such as drug offenses, gang-related activity, absconding, or persons also facing criminal charges in a local court.
Even if you did make a mistake while on parole, we want to help protect your record and make sure any sanction is fair and appropriate. In many cases you may be entitled to a remedial sanction such as GPS monitor, a drug treatment program, STAR classes, SCBC, or other sanctions less severe than incarceration.(Click here for more information regarding the Board of Prison Hearings recomended range of sanctions for each violation type.)
