I hope and will always strive to obtain parole for each client as soon as possible. But in those cases where I have accepted difficult cases or cases where an insufficient amount of time has been served clients have often asked me what it would cost to hire me again after the first presentation.

I do not charge for any follow up parole presentations. Client's not receiving approval for parole are entitled to any follow up presentation needed provided they DO NOT:

1) Terminate the attorney client relationship;
2) Receive a refund (except for over payment refunds);
3) Fail to pay the entire $2,400 fee; OR
4) Become part of a formal grievance, complaint, or charge back request against Paul Hampel or The Law Office of Paul A. Hampel.

For follow up parole I normally do not see a need for a second on unit interview. However, any client can receive an additional on unit interview if they request the interview and pay an additional $400. The follow up interview must be requested and paid prior to the beginning of the follow up review process. The follow up parole presentation will receive the same promises and an update of all of the services covered by the initial parole presentation fee.

My intentions are to offer this service as a back up assurance to my clients. I offer this service so that client's can take comfort that this option exists if it is necessary. This free follow-up promise assures families that once the $2,400 is paid, no additional fees will be required and their loved one will have experienced representation until the goal of release is achieved. Many prisoners and their families are often unsure when to hire a parole lawyer. On the one hand they want to release as soon as possible. On the other hand they do not want to spend large sums of money on attorneys for each new review of their case. Free follow up presentations are designed to build mutual loyalties between myself and my clients and to encourage us to work together as much as possible for your release.  Because any follow-up representation is free, and not at a discount, I do not profit from a second representation.  With my free follow-up policy, we share the mutual goal of parole release as soon as possible.

The number of clients needing a follow-up presentation is small. I offer these assurances because I know what I am doing.   I accept cases where I feel, based on my knowledge and experience, that my services will have a positive impact on my client's case.Thus, I can offer this policy as a back up plan to those who need it. This offer is also designed to show that my first goal is your parole. Under the law, I cannot guarantee parole. Parole Board Members are the only people that decide parole. But this service is further proof that I will do my best and will stand by my clients.
