Q: If an error/discrepancy was made in my sentencing, and i subpoena that paperwork can something good happen in my favor?
I'm currently on Parole in Los Angeles. when i was incarcerated i received a letter from sacramento stating there was a error/discrepancy in my sentencing and that it must be fixed. A year later i received it again. i was liberated at the end of 2015. i spoke to my Parole Officer around 2017/18 about getting that paperwork and he said he couldn't give it to me because there was some kind of error and told me to get a lawyer to subpoena it. i just want to know if its worth to subpoena it if and when something positive can come out of that, as in getting less parole time or wishful thinking getting my case thrown out for that mistake. thank you in advance.
A:
More info is needed to properly evaluate your case.......IT COULD BE GOOD OR BAD.
THE BEST PERSON TO ASK IS THE LAWYER WHO REPRESENTED YOU WHO HAS ALL THE FACTS.
However, IF YOU ARE GOING TOI HIRE A LAWYER, it is always a good idea to contact a local attorney that handles these cases in the courthouse to which you are ordered to appear.
In other words, I am in Palm Springs and you don’t want to hire a Palm Springs lawyer for an Orange Co case.
Most criminal and accident lawyers will offer a free consultation to review the facts.
Call a local attorney to discuss this matter in more detail and request an appointment.
Don't discuss your matter on a platform like this as what you say can be used against you.

A:
The facts you shared do raise some important legal issues and rights.
However, more information is needed.
If you would like to consider hiring an experienced private criminal defense attorney -- which always has its benefits because public defenders (if you get one) are overworked and not able to give clients the kind of attention a private attorney can -- then please go ahead and make the appointment to get your question answer correctly.
