Parole representation started in 2006.
I do a thorough review of inmate files.
I provide honest feedback.
I help my clients understand character defects, causative factors of crime, insight, remorse and empathy. If my clients have been exposed to domestic violence or perpetrated domestic violence, I review the cycle of violence and the types of controlling behavior that are construed to be forms of domestic violence.
