Parole / Probation

Sometimes being charged with a crime or after serving time in a jail or prison, an individual may receive parole or probation.  Parole is a form of supervision that a judge may declare after an individual is released from a jail or prison after the said individual serves part of his sentence.  Probation can be received after an individual serves his /her time in jail or prison.  Both declarations can have underlying conditions that must be met in order for the individual to remain in the community and avoid being jailed again.  Failure to adhere to all conditions under parole/probation can result in the individual returning to jail and receiving additional time.

If you are convicted of a crime and are sentenced to time in prison, with proper representation you could receive parole or probation.  Call the law offices of Goldstein and Handwerker today at: (212) 679-1330 and get the representation you need to set your life on the right path.
