Todd and Julie Chrisley‘s “concerns” will be “expressed” on their family’s new reality series, even if that means they are doing so from behind bars.

Jay Surgent, Partner at Weiner Law Group LLP and the attorney representing Todd and Julie during their prison sentences, told People that while it is “highly doubtful that the Bureau of Prisons is going to allow any filming for this, regarding Julie or Todd,” he believes they may find a way for their voices to still be heard.

“Certain rules and regulations have to be followed for security purposes and the administration operations in the prisons, and there’s no question about that,” he said. “However, I expect, knowing Todd, that he will contribute in every way that he can by speaking with him.”

Surgent added that Todd speaks with his daughter Savannah, who “visits her parents” and is “in constant contact with [them] by phone.”

“[Todd will] be adding his viewpoints on things relative to his thoughts about his children, what they’re doing with their careers, with this new show that’s being now shopped,” he explained. “Also, his own situation as well as Julie’s situation.”

He continued, “So while they’re not going to be active film participants, their situation, their concerns, are going to be able to be expressed through the mouth of their own children during the performance of this unscripted docuseries,” highlighting that “they’re looking forward to it.”

He noted that Todd is “very excited” about his family’s “natural and straightforward” return to the spotlight.”

“He knows a lot of people that like his shows and like the family shows — like, that aspect of it, that it is unscripted and people are acting naturally,” he shared. “It’s not like, I don’t know, acted out or preconceived.”

However, there are “certain limitations” and “certain things that can’t be said and done while there’s pending of an appeal before any circuit court in the United States, no less in their situation where they’ve gotten a lot of publicity.”

“So, while the children and [Todd’s mother] Nanny Faye might be expressing their concern about their children and about their own situation, they’re not going to be able to go into detail with reference to any specific legal opinions projected by their attorneys or pending issues before the Federal Circuit Court,” he detailed.

Surgent believes the court “would frown upon any comments made on legal arguments pro and con their positions by their children on a national TV unscripted program, ex parte,” but the family can talk about their situation “in general.” He gave the examples of expressing disappointment or feeling like “there’s issues with reference to the parents’ constitutional rights being violated” being appropriate.

However, they “have to be careful as to what they say as to not prejudice their parents’ appeal.”

The show, which doesn’t have a broadcast network yet, reportedly “will see the kids and Todd Chrisley’s mother pick up their lives after their parents were locked up.”

“We’re so happy to be back,” Savannah Chrisley said.
