"I was facing a huge battle in convincing the Parole Board that I was ready for open conditions"

As an IPP prisoner maintaining my innocence, I was facing a huge battle in convincing the Parole Board that I was ready for open conditions. I was given Lisa Burton's number and after deciding to get legal representation, I spoke to Lisa. From the initial phone call I knew I had the right person fighting my corner.

Lisa was straightforward, upfront and had a reassuring knowledge of all aspects of my case and prison law.

She made me feel comfortable leading up to and during my Parole Board Review and was always available when I called to speak to her.

I’m truly grateful to Lisa and I am now in open conditions positively working towards my end of tariff parole.
