Parole Violation Dismissed and Client Released from Prison
Bauer, Scanlon, & Wigginton • July 24, 2026
Eligibility for expungement varies depending on state laws and the specifics of the offense. At Bauer Scanlon & Wigginton, we work closely with clients to evaluate their eligibility and develop a strategy tailored to their situation.
The impact of expungement extends beyond simply clearing a record. It can open doors to new opportunities and reduce the stigma associated with a criminal history.
- Post-Approval Steps
After the court grants the expungement, we ensure all relevant agencies (e.g., law enforcement and background check companies) update their records. This ensures your expunged record is no longer accessible.
Myth 3: Expungement is Automatic In most cases, you must actively pursue expungement; it doesn’t happen automatically after a certain time.
Myth 4: Expungement Guarantees No Future Issues While expungement significantly reduces visibility, certain entities (like government agencies) may still access the record in specific circumstances.

If you or someone you know is on probation or parole, it is important you understand your rights and responsibilities. The Pennsylvania Superior Court in Commonwealth v. Koger, 255 A.3d 1285, 1291 (Pa. Super. 2021), handed down a decision that is having a major impact on individuals under court supervision. In Koger, it was found that the sentencing court did not impose any specific probation or parole conditions when Koger was originally sentenced. Therefore, Koger could not be found in violation of any specific conditions and revoke his parole.
Based on that decision, our firm recently filed a successful Koger motion for one of our clients. We were able to get his alleged parole violation dismissed and his release from prison for the very same reasons outlined in Koger.
If you or someone you love is on probation or parole supervision and are alleged to have violated a condition of court’s supervision, speak with an attorney immediately. You should understand all rules or conditions you are expected to follow in accordance with your initial sentencing. You may have recourse in a Koger motion to protect your freedom and liberty.
