Probation & Parole Violations

Defending persons accused of a violation of probation or parole requires an understanding of the unique situation the defendant is in. Criminal defense attorney Barry Gerald Sands has extensive experience representing people charged with violating their probation or parole. Such persons are already dealing with previous convictions, so there is little or no chance of getting all charges thrown out. The goal is to keep the person out of jail - while addressing the issues behind the parole or probation violation. Barry will work with all prosecutors and courts to resolve all outstanding violations. Creative Solutions to Complicated Circumstances

Barry works closely with his clients who have been charged with parole or probation violations to help them avoid new charges (on top of their original conviction and the probation or parole violation charge). He is often able to convince courts and prosecutors to engage in creative negotiations which may result in lenient treatment - giving the accused another chance to fulfill probation and parole obligations. If the offender is a juvenile , parents are welcomed to participate in the problem solving process. If the offender is a drug offender , Mr. Sands may work with the court to fashion agreements giving the defendant responsibility and control over their treatment.

In all his parole and probation violation cases, Mr. Sands listens carefully to the client's version of the events. He will independently investigate the facts behind the violation to corroborate their truth. Mr. Sands then applies his knowledge of criminal law and procedure and his years of experience to create a constructive solution.
