In developing my parole representation, my first goal is to gather up all available information from all available sources. These sources include my face to face client interview on the unit, my writing exercises for my clients, court records, all discoverable parole records, and all support letters requested from designated friends and family members. I also use my resources throughout Texas to create the detailed parole argument and plan I make for your loved one.

All clients receive face to face interviews and all cases are presented by me, Paul A. Hampel. If parole is denied I do not charge for follow up parole presentations (See "Free Follow Up Presentations"). I personally handle all interviews with my clients on the unit as well as all of my client's presentations to the Board voting my client's parole cases. No assistants or associates are used for these purposes. NO FORMS, QUESTIONNAIRES, MONITORED UNIT PHONE CALLS OR OTHER CORNER CUTTING DEVICES ARE USED BY MY OFFICE TO COMPROMISE THE QUALITY OF MY FACT GATHERING. In my opinion, such forms and questionnaires are both time consuming and an inappropriate substitute for a face to face contact on the unit. These forms and questionnaires fail to allow for follow up questions and discussions that can result in the discovery of key parole information. Because I represent prisoners in each of the seven parole regions throughout the state, I keep regular professional contact with the Parole Board Members. If a Board member votes a case without speaking to me for any reason, the client is entitled to a refund under my refund policy (see "Refund Policies").

I feel good parole representation is about discovering your information and arguments for parole and getting those arguments noticed by the voters of your case. My representation is designed to be as thorough as possible based on the documents I pull, the people I contact and the organization and government sources I use.
