My husband and I can’t thank Ms. Letarte enough for doing such a wonderful job representing at my husband’s Board of Parole Hearing. Her level of professionalism and knowledge of the process is beyond measure. We couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you, Ms. Letarte.
Warmest regards,

My husband had a life sentence and after 40 years of being locked up and denied parole several times, I contacted Attorney LeTarte. Her and her staff went above and beyond to help my husband. First there was a suitability hearing and he was found suitable....but then the Governor said no. I contacted Attorney Letarte again and she was on his case right away, flew to his En Banc hearing and now my Husband is coming home! She is absolutely amazing, dedicated, sincere and well educated. Her staff is amazing too. If you want a fighting chance I suggest you hire her. Thank you Diane, Yolanda and the rest of the staff for your hard work and sincere dedication to helping men and women get back home to their families.

We retained Ms. Letarte a few years ago for my husband's parole board hearing. After carefully reviewing my husband's case it was decided to waive his initial hearing in order to be better prepared. It was great advice, my husband was able to complete additional self help courses and gain employment at the prison which helped him tremendously. He was far more prepared when he did eventually go in front of the board this year. With the help of Ms.Letarte and staff and of course my husband's hard work and determination he was granted parole. He is now a free man. We are so grateful for the effort put forth by Ms. Letarte, she was a blessing to have on our team. A million thank yous!!!!!

My husband is granted parole because of Diane Letarte and staff. She prepared my husband for the parole board hearing and gave him confidence that parole could happen to him. . My husband told me that when she came to visit for his preparation for the board hearing , she went over his last board hearing, gave him ideas and to be transparent to the commissioners. His last lawyer was a poor example and didn't fight for my husband freedom. Diane Letarte was in the trenches with him and I am very thankful. My husband was granted parole because we got a lawyer that sees a person and not a price tag. Thank you and God Bless you Diane Letarte and staff.

Ms. Letarte represented me for two hearings. I couldn't have been more prepared she did a fantastic job. My second hearing was an S. B. 261 and It was granted and I am now released. I recommend attorney D. Letarte to anybody who is serious about going home.

On June 3, 2015, I was found suitable for parole. This was no easy task being that from day one of my arrest on April 26, 1983, I consistently maintained my innocence. With that said, every attorney prior to Ms. Letarte, informed me that I would never be found suitable for parole as long as I maintained my innocence.
I contacted Ms. Letarte's office in January 2015, explaining my situation and asked if she would be willing to come visit me for possible retaining her for my upcoming Parole hearing. She visited me, heard what I had to say, and agreed to represent me.
With Ms. Letarte's brilliance and expertise on parole hearings, I was found suitable for parole! Again, despite being told that I "would never" be found suitable by other soo called attorneys. To my disappointment my fight for actually being freed after being found suitable for parole was far from over. On September 2015, two days prior to my parole grant becoming final, the Governor referred my case to the En Banc panel. On October 2015, the motion was approved by
the majority of the commissioners.
I was then scheduled for a Rescission hearing for February 5, 2016. Once again I contacted Ms. Letarte, if she would represent me at the hearing, and she did. Before and during the hearing, I was a nervous wreck, it's nothing like having someone take something away from you that you fought so hard for. But just as in the previous hearing, Ms. Letarte's impeccable skills prevailed, and my original parole grant was affirmed!
Today I am a free man after serving 32 years & 8 months for a crime “I did not commit”.
Thanks to Ms. Diane T. Letarte, MBA, LLM and her support staff. I truly am a believer in her motto which states, "It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the fight in the dog."
She is the real deal!!!
I am so grateful and blessed to have retained Ms. Letarte, as my attorney, and I would recommend her to anyone who is serious about regaining their freedom!
Thanks again Ms. Letarte for helping get my life back!
Sincerely,
Michael D. V,
former lifer
