Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

My boyfriend got out of a California prison September of 2012 and did not ever check in to parole...so I guess he is absconding? Is there any way I can get an attorney and go to court, So he does not go back to prison? He has been in and out of high desert state prison since the age of 18, now 26, and is finally got a grip and quit using etc. what can we do? Is there any options? Last time his parole officer told him come down and ill give you options and sent him back to prison three days or so later...

This is by definition a felony, and by now he will have an arrest warrant and parole violation charges filed against him, so yes, you can hire an attorney, but the defendant must come to court personally with the attorney for every appearance. Whether he goes back to prison on a parole violation is up to the attorney to persuade and negotiate with the DA and judge. It may be possible with a good 'story'.

If serious about hiring counsel, contact me.
