How We Help Our Clients
We Provide the Following Services at Affordable Rates:
Parole Consultation $950
A parole consultation includes a comprehensive review of the inmate's file, including their criminal record, discipline record, programming, chronos, past hearing results (if any), comprehensive risk assessements, education upgrades, vocation upgrades, and other factors that the Board will evaluate to determine suitability for parole. Inmate files are typically more than a thousand pages long.
Parole Hearing $4,500
Parole hearing services include all the services provided for parole consultations, plus much more: a minimum of three meetings with the inmate to help them prepare themselves and their documents for their parole hearing and representing the inmate at their parole hearing.
En Banc & Recission Hearings
Sometimes hearings will end in a tie between the Board Commissioners or a grant will be sent to the full Board by the Governor for review. This is called an En Banc review. At these hearings, testimony is limited to 2 minutes a person, so it's important for an inmate to submit a written response and address any issues or concerns.
