California Parole Hearing Attorney for Crime Victims
Victims and qualifying family members may have rights to notice, participation, and consideration of safety in parole and other post-conviction release proceedings.
Victim participation after conviction
Marsy's Law includes rights concerning notice of parole procedures and post-conviction release proceedings, participation in the parole process, provision of information to the parole authority, and notification of release upon request.
Preparing for a parole hearing
Private counsel can help a victim or family understand the process, organize relevant information, prepare a focused statement or submission, and present the victim's position within the procedures governing the hearing.
Safety considerations
California law provides that victim, family, and public safety are factors to be considered before parole or other post-judgment release decisions.
