Probation & Parole Violations

Louisiana Attorneys: Probation Violation Defense

There are many challenging rules that you must follow once you are released on parole or if you are sentenced to probation rather than jail time. If you break one of these rules, you could end up facing an immediate revocation of parole or probation and possibly additional jail or prison time. Common probation violations include:

• Failed urinalysis (dirty UA)
• Failure to report for scheduled meetings with your parole or probation officer (PO)
• Unapproved travel
• Failure to maintain employment or residence

If you have been accused of any probation violation in Louisiana, it is vitally important to immediately seek the services of lawyer with extensive experience in probation and parole violation defense.

The clock is ticking from the moment a rule is broken and the parole officer takes action against you. Contact the Baton Rouge offices of Manasseh Gill & Knipe today for a free consultation.

Probation Violations Defense

There are ways we can help you to minimize the possibility of incarceration after a parole or probation violation. The team at Manasseh Gill & Knipe has been successful in obtaining substance abuse treatment instead of jail for clients who have tested positive for drugs while on probation.

We seek to help the judge and everyone else involved in a case see you as a human being who needs help, not further punishment, and we help them understand it is in the justice system's best interest for that to happen.

Parole Revocation Defense

The experienced criminal defense lawyers at Manasseh Gill & Knipe apply our thorough understanding of the law and the court system to do all we can to help people who have had their parole revoked.

Here is a representative example: A client who had committed a serious crime many years earlier left the state immediately after he was released, which violated the conditions of his parole. Years later, after marrying and having children, our client was pulled over for a routine traffic violation, at which time he was arrested for violating parole and was on the verge of being sent back to prison for many years.

We were able to convince the court that he had turned his life around. We did this promptly, before he was entered into the system permanently. We had his family testify, secured notes from his employers and other documents proving that he had reformed his life and it was not in the interests of justice to incarcerate him further.
