When you are accused of violating your probation or parole, you have the right to a hearing. At the first hearing (a Gagnon I hearing), a judge will determine whether there is probable cause to believe that you violated your probation or parole. You are also entitled to a separate hearing for the court or parole board to determine whether your parole or probation should be revoked (a Gagnon II hearing). If you are found to be in violation of your parole in Pennsylvania, the court can sentence you to serve the rest of your sentence in prison. If you violate your probation, the court can sentence you up to the maximum of time you faced when you were originally sentenced. Therefore, it is important to have an attorney experienced in parole and probation violations represent you at your hearings.
