How can I appeal a parole or probation revocation decision?

In Wisconsin, if you are unhappy with the decision made by the court to revoke your parole or probation it is possible to appeal the decision. Depending on the specific circumstances, the appeal may need to be filed with either the Circuit Court or the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The first step of the appeal process is to file a timely Notice of Appeal in the Circuit Court or the Wisconsin Supreme Court within 30 days of the date that the order revoking the parole or probation was issued. During this time, it is important to contact an experienced lawyer to assist with the appeal process. When the timely Notice of Appeal is filed, the next step is to prepare and file a written brief, which is an argument in support of appealing the decision made by the court. The brief should include facts and evidence that support the argument for why the probation or parole revocation decision should be reversed. Next, the court may set a hearing date for the appeal. At the hearing, the defense attorney can present the argument against the revocation of parole or probation. At this time, the court will either decide to dismiss the appeal or to sustain it. If the appeal is successful, the court will reverse the decision made and the parole or probation will be reinstated. In some cases, the court may order further requirements, such as additional supervision or community service, to be imposed on the parolee or probationer. Regardless of the outcome of the appeal, it is important to seek the assistance of an experienced attorney to ensure the best outcome possible. Filing an appeal can be a difficult process, however, with the help of a capable lawyer, it is possible to have the decision reversed.
