Re: Job applications for Maryland parolees

From the sparce information we have, the main consequence you face would possibly be a violation of probation, depending on the probation conditions listed on your sentencing order. I would need further information. Perhaps there was a genuine misunderstanding, there is also a question of whether the question on the application was properly interposed. If not, there may me an employment law issue there too. I would need to speak with you in more detail to see if there was legitimate confusion etc. Are you facing a VOP? Call me for a fee consultation. I have dealt with these issues before and would help you in any way I can. My office number is (301) 279-8773. -A.P. Pishevar, Esquire.
