What We Do: At Jana Harris Law, we do more than just fight for your freedom. We work together with you and your families. We strive to speak on your behalf and work tirelessly to bring you relief and release from prison. We have represented and helped many individuals obtain release from incarceration over the past several decades. Our firm understands the difficulty of being incarcerated and how it affects your family and loved ones, as well as you. We, at Jana Harris Law, are experienced at helping you navigate the parole system in Georgia. We will walk together with you and help you get the best decision possible. Over the years, we have advocated for hundreds of clients just like you before the Georgia Parole Board and have helped our clients receive many favorable outcomes.
Several decades ago, we began to focus on parole law. We observed that the criminal justice system was often one-sided against convicted defendants. These convicted defendants could not speak for themselves and desperately needed someone to speak for them. At Jana Harris Law, we speak for our clients who are incarcerated. As experienced parole lawyers, we have fought for and advocated for many clients who have come home to their families. While you are on this website, read our client testimonials. You will see real examples of what we do. With a helping hand, we can make a difference in your life and guide you through the most difficult time of your life.

Our practice covers the full range of post-conviction legal matters in Georgia, including:
– Parole Representation — We guide clients through every stage of the Georgia parole process, from initial eligibility reviews to parole hearing preparation and representation before the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles. We help gather supporting documentation, prepare written narratives, and present the strongest possible case for release.
– Sentence Reduction — We pursue all available avenues to reduce sentences, including judicial sentence review, accelerated sentence review, first-offender treatment programs, and other statutory mechanisms that Georgia law makes available to eligible defendants.
– Post-Conviction Relief — We handle post-conviction filings including habeas corpus proceedings, challenges to unlawful detentions, and motions based on constitutional violations or newly discovered evidence that may warrant relief even years after sentencing.
– Probation Violation Defense — We represent clients facing alleged probation violations, missed reporting requirements, failed drug tests, failure to complete court-ordered programs, and new criminal charges that threaten revocation and incarceration.
– Jury Selection Challenges — In cases where trial errors occurred during jury selection, we investigate and pursue post-conviction remedies where constitutional violations in the jury selection process may provide grounds for relief.
Every person who walks through our doors deserves rigorous, compassionate representation. We have seen how a conviction ripples through an entire family, and we take that responsibility seriously. When the system feels overwhelming and hopeless, we are the advocates who show up, who speak loudly on your behalf, and who fight for every available path to freedom.
