Once you hear that the FBI is asking questions or has targeted you, their case is complete, along with their 98% conviction rate. To handle this you cannot wait; you need a white-collar attorney who practices federal criminal defense in federal court. In this video, I cover the basics.

    • Your next step is interviewing attorneys to see who you are comfortable with. Please do not be shy. Your future and life depend on it.
    • Know what questions you need to ask.

EARLY PREPARATION – PROVIDES THE BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME


Attorneys know the law, but the nuances of navigating what happens after sentencing and through Federal Prison are not part of a traditional legal defense.

This is your life and future; therefore, don’t leave all the decisions solely to your legal team. Participate (please follow their recommendations), and respectfully request that they “listen” to your requests and needs.

*NOTHING IS GUARANTEED*

NO ATTORNEY, EXPERT, OR CONSULTANT CAN PROMISE WHAT ANY JUDGE OR THE BOP WILL DO.


In this video, I go over what to expect and how to prepare for this new world you are entering. The preparation for your Presentence Interview cannot be overstated. Once you have provided all of your information to your Probation Officer, they will start their Presentence Investigation.

After they have completed their investigation – your official Presentence Report will be written and provided to you for you to review. After your review, it next goes to your Judge and next to all your STAKEHOLDERS who will be responsible for your immediate future.

Some STAKEHOLDERS you will meet, and others you will never encounter, but all will impact your life. I will end with my last 2 comments: 1st) you need to have written and included your Personal NARRATIVE and Release Plan to be included in your Presentence Report, Under Seal, and 2nd) to reinforce this theme, that’s why I have included this short video for your review.


Taking Ownership of Your Defense (and Life) Begins With Preparing For Your Presentence Interview (PSI) And Sentencing Hearing.

 

I. UNDERSTANDING THESE QUESTIONS IS A MUST.

  • WHAT WILL YOUR PRESENTENCE REPORT LOOK LIKE?
  • WHAT IS YOUR NARRATIVE, ALLOCUTION, and RELEASE PLAN?

II. GOOD TIME CREDITS (GTC): DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MUST DO?

III. FIRST STEP ACT: DO YOU UNDERSTAND EACH PART?

  • FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY PROGRAM (FRP)
  • EARNED TIME CREDITS, (ETC)
  • PATTERN
  • SPARC-13

IV. RDAP ELIGIBILITY: DOES THIS AFFECT YOU?

V. SECOND CHANCE ACT, WILL YOU BE ELIGIBLE?

VI. COMPASSIONATE RELEASE, DEPENDING ON YOUR AGE OR MEDICAL CONDITION, WILL THIS AFFECT YOU? HOW DO YOU QUALIFY?

YOU CAN LOSE ALL OF YOUR GTC, ETCHOW?

DON’T GET DISCIPLINED; NO INFRACTIONS; NO CELL PHONES, NO IPADS (UNLESS THEY’RE FROM THE COMMISSARY). YOU CAN LOSE ALL GOOD TIME CREDIT, EARNED TIME CREDIT, RDAP CREDIT, AND POSSIBLY GET A NEW CHARGE.
