I don't know of any statistics that says that the chances of gaining parole are greater if you have an attorney. However, an attorney can make a better presentation to the parole board of the positive factors (if any) that lien toward granting parole and down playing the negative. This is called a parole packet. Look it up on the google. Most times not hiring an attorney comes down to not having the money to hire an attorney.
