Do You Have To Go Back to Jail? Maybe Not …
Supervised Release Violations ● Kansas City Lawyers ● Missouri and Kansas
If you were caught violating the terms of your supervised release or parole, then you've probably given serious thought to the possibility of going back to prison. But you don't necessarily have to go back – and an experienced attorney can help you explore other options.

Carl E. Cornwell has over 30 years of experience as a criminal defense attorney. He is well respected in the Kansas City region and nationwide for his ability to handle state and federal charges. He fights aggressively for each client and gives each case the attention it needs.
Joining him is attorney Dionne Scherff – a lawyer with over 15 years experience in criminal law. A former prosecutor, she knows the criminal justice system from the inside out. And she knows what your opposition is planning.
What Are the Alternatives to Supervised Release?
As things stand, you don't necessarily have to go back to prison. You were granted supervised release for a reason, and that same reason can help persuade the judge to give you an alternative to jail.
Depending on your violations (which frequently involve curfews, urinalysis tests, associating with certain people or going outside certain regions), we may be able to help you get into a "halfway house" treatment or community–based drug treatment.
What's most important is that you have an attorney who is fully capable of negotiating with prosecutors on your behalf. Without an experienced advocate, your chances of staying out of jail decrease dramatically.
