Even after you have paid your debt to society for mistakes you made long ago, a sexual crime conviction can impact you for the rest of your life. Community Supervision for Life/CSL or Parole Supervision for Life/PSL, a condition of parole for those convicted of serious sexual offenses, permits the state to monitor and supervise an individual after completion of his or her sentence in a very intrusive way.

Under New Jersey law, when an individual is convicted of a sexual offense, he or she is also subject to additional laws, including:
- Megan's Law, a reporting and community notification law
- Parole Supervision for Life and Community Supervision for Life, supervision and monitoring that becomes applicable once an individual has been convicted and finished his or her sentence
Under PSL/CSL, parole officers may be permitted to come into the individual's home to check up on the individual. The individual may also be subject to:
- Electronic bracelet monitoring
- Polygraph tests
- Requirement to obtain permission before leaving the state or country

Parole Supervision for Life or Community Supervision for Life causes significant impact on the everyday life of the person subjected to the program. Termination of participation in this program is possible under certain conditions, but only after approximately 15 years following completion of his or her sentence. Termination can be challenging — it is crucial to have the assistance of criminal defense attorneys who have been successful in terminating this status. We can also assist in modification of conditions and terms of PSL/CSL to ease the impact on your life.
Further, modification of the level of offense of Megan's law can impact the severity of parole or community supervision for life. Our law firm has the distinction of being the only law firm in New Jersey that has successfully "overturned" a section of the Megan's Law statute before the Supreme Court of New Jersey.
