Parole Board Hearings
Representation for Parole Violation Hearings
Being accused of a crime is a serious matter, but being accused of a crime that could result in having your freedom revoked is even more severe. If you or a loved one is facing a hearing before the Board of Pardons and Parole in Utah, you need an experienced attorney who understands how the Board operates and can guide you through this critical process. At the law office of Hamilton Defense, Neal is dedicated to providing aggressive and compassionate representation to protect your rights and help you navigate the complexities of parole board hearings.
What is a Parole Board Hearing in Utah?
When a person is sentenced to prison in Utah, the authority over their case is transferred from the district court to the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole (the Board). The Board holds the sole power to:
- Decide how long an individual will remain in prison
- Whether they will be released on parole
- If their case will be terminated
A parole board hearing is a formal proceeding where the Board reviews a person’s case to make these critical decisions, often after they have served a portion of their sentence.
