Probation/Parole

Delaware Parole and Probation Violation Lawyer

Persons accused of probation and parole violations face high hurdles in obtaining justice. Because of the lower evidentiary standard compared to regular criminal charges, different legal strategies must be employed to protect the rights of the accused. At my practice, the Law Offices of Francis E. Farren, I represent clients accused of all types of parole and probation violations.

A Former Probation/Parole Officer

Before becoming a defense attorney, I worked as a probation/parole officer and supervisor for eight years. While there I prosecuted numerous probation and parole violations, as well as matters before the Board of Parole. That experience gave me a practical understanding of the procedures and policies that probation/parole officers work with every day. I have a comprehensive understanding of the rules of the Department of Corrections regarding such matters, and can sometimes identify discrepancies in the officer's reports and files which can serve to mitigate the potential consequences for my client.

A Former Prosecutor

After obtaining my law degree I worked as a prosecutor for the Attorney General's office from 1997 through 2005. I learned how successful prosecutors build their cases, and I learned the strategies which successful defense attorneys use to counter or discredit the prosecution's case. I also learned the tools and arguments an effective parole lawyer uses in obtaining mitigation of a sentence through parole.

A Dedicated Probation And Parole Violation Lawyer

I now put my experience and knowledge of the probation and parole justice system to work for my clients. My experience on both sides of the criminal justice system has given me strong negotiation skills, and the ability to argue on behalf of my client in terms a judge or the Board of Parole can understand.

A defense attorney has a difficult job. Once a client is within the criminal justice system, protecting the client's rights or preserving or obtaining the client's freedom becomes even harder. As a dedicated probation and parole lawyer, I do not shirk from the task. I am committed to helping my clients obtain justice through the system.
