As a former probation officer for adult felons for over six and a half years, Mr. Petrus has an acute understanding of how to negotiate with even the strictest and toughest parole and probation officers. Mr. Petrus has experienced wonderful success in this area, including helping a drug offender charged with a new drug crime while on parole avoid a sentence to the “Willard Boot Camp.”

Mr. Petrus is willing, if necessary, to litigate a violation from the very start to the end. NEVER waive your right to a preliminary violation hearing without first consulting Mr. Petrus.

In addition to representing alleged violators at Probation or Parole Violation Hearings, Mr. Petrus can help people on parole and probation and obtaining "revokes and restores" for his clients.:

1) Obtain an early release from prison or jail;

2) Obtain an early termination from parole, probation, presumptive release, or conditional release supervision;

3) Change or eliminate a parole or probation rule;

4) Transfer parole or probation supervision to another city in New York, to another state, or help someone transfer his or her parole or probation to New York;

5) Appeal a bad Parole or Probation Violation decision;

6) Draft and Appear on Writs and Article 78s;

And more.
