Oakland Parole Violation Attorney

When a new arrest results in a parole violation, it may require our Oakland Parole Violation lawyers to appear in two different proceedings: the new case and the parole violation. Often, they are in different courts.

If the parole violation is for a felony there will not be a bail set at the time of arrest. While it is difficult to get a bail set on a felony parole violation, there are compelling circumstances like loss of a job, or children who need to be cared for, our lawyers will make every effort to convince the judge that a bail should be set.

Should the client on parole for a misdemeanor, he or she is entitled to have a bail set on the violation as a matter of law.
