Parole: A Life-Changing Decision in the Hands of Busy People
As a former Commissioner for Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, Mr. Marshall has seen how parole boards operate. With more than 75,000 parole cases reviewed every year, board members and commissioners can be extremely busy. Mr. Marshall ensures that each client’s file gets the thorough review that the case deserves.
A parole hearing isn’t like a criminal case. A lawyer isn’t going to be arguing before a judge and jury, but there are ways that a criminal defense lawyer can intervene to make sure the Parole Board members hear all the facts.

Revocation of Parole or Probation
Parole and probation are usually granted with a lot of rules. It’s not hard to break the rules and find yourself back in court for a probation revocation hearing and then back to jail or prison. Mr. Marshall defends clients in parole revocation hearings and in probation revocation hearings.
If you believe your loved one may have a hard time fulfilling the terms of parole or probation – perhaps because of a drug or alcohol addiction – it may be wise to have a criminal defense attorney on retainer.
