Idaho State Correctional Institute ISCI at IDOC
McKenzie Law Offices provides freedom and hope to prison inmates and their families by effectively assisting them with their parole plan and Idaho parole hearings. I have years of experience helping dozens of IDOC inmates prepare for pre-board interviews and parole hearings. I assist in the preparation of parole plans and SIPR petitions and in identifying resources for parolees once they are released from prison. When a family member or other loved one goes before the Commission, they should have a plan prepared by an attorney familiar with the process. I would be happy to talk with you to see if I can become an advocate for you. We do not guarantee success–no attorney can–be we will help prepare and present the best case for release. You can reach us at (208) 402-6955 for a free initial consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need an attorney at my parole hearing?
The opportunity to come before the Idaho Commission on Pardons and Parole does not come often. You should do what you can to ensure that your loved one has the best opportunity to win their freedom. We understand the process because we have represented dozens of Idaho inmates before the Idaho Commission of Pardons and Parole. The earnest advocacy of a dedicated parole attorney can make the difference between an inmate winning parole or being passed over. Your freedom is our goal.
What does McKenzie Law Offices do for its parole clients?
What we do for our clients is try to get them in the best possible position to be released on parole when they get before the Commission. I hold a Juris Doctor degree from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. I will meet with our client at the prison and represent him before the Parole Commission. I assist in developing a parole plan based on years of experience gaining successful results before the Parole Commission. I assist clients in finding resources for housing, employment, and treatment. Each person is unique and has unique needs and resources after incarceration. I help develop a parole plan that will get Commission approval. I also work with the inmate and coach them on how to speak to the Parole Commission. It is critical that an inmate know how to express himself to the Commissioners, who often have many questions for the inmate. Often inmates pick up speech and thought patterns in prison without realizing it, and they benefit from my experienced and objective help. I have dozens of years of experience both as a prosecutor and defense counsel. I understand what the Parole Commission looks for and we put our clients in the best possible position.
How much will it cost?
I charge a flat rate for representation before the parole board. If we have to travel to north or east Idaho for the hearing we typically charge an additional $500 to cover the cost. Currently, due to COVID restrictions, the Commission has been conducting all hearings by teleconference, so travel is not an issue.
