Parole Hearings Attorney In Dublin, California

California Parole Board Hearing Laws & Process

  • Probation - If you are put on probation, there are rules that must be followed. Our firm provides representation for your initial case and advocates for probation instead of incarceration, but if you have been granted probation, we also handle any situations where a probation violation may have been committed.
  • Parole - Our firm can represent you at parole hearings, along with handling any parole violation issues.
  • Lifer Hearings - Individuals sentenced to life with the possibility for parole receive "suitability hearings" by the Board of Parole Hearings once the individual reaches the minimum parole eligibility dates. If parole is denied, the parole board must indicate the reasons for refusing parole to an inmate.


The Dannenberg court noted when the Board of Prison Term bases a finding that an inmate is unsuitable for parole on the circumstances of the commitment offense, it must cite some evidence of aggravating facts beyond the minimum elements of the crime. Our firm provides experienced representation for clients at these so-called lifer hearings.

Understanding Parole Hearings: What You Need to Know

At The Law Office of John W. Noonan, we understand that parole hearings can be crucial moments in a person’s life. If you or a loved one is approaching this pivotal stage, it’s natural to feel anxious and uncertain. Parole hearings are an opportunity for individuals who have been incarcerated to request early release based on good behavior, rehabilitation, and other factors.


During a parole hearing, a panel will evaluate various aspects of your case, including your behavior while incarcerated, the nature of your original charge, and any steps you’ve taken toward rehabilitation. It’s essential to have a strong legal advocate by your side to present your case compellingly and ensure your rights are protected.


Our experienced legal team is committed to helping you navigate the complexities of parole hearings. We will work closely with you to prepare your application, gather necessary documentation, and effectively communicate your progress to the parole board. The goal is to convince them that you are ready to reintegrate into society safely and responsibly.


If you’re facing a parole hearing or need guidance about the process, don’t hesitate to reach out. At The Law Office of John W. Noonan, we’re here to provide the support and representation you deserve.
