The Power of Your Probation Officer and Sway with YOUR JUDGE
Hello, and thank you for tuning into my Video series, INDICTED AND FACING PRISON: NOW WHAT?
My name is Marc Blatstein. In 2006, I, too, was Indicted and convicted of a felony, and I lost my medical license. To call this a life-altering event, at best, is an understatement. With work, I was able to get my license to practice reinstated.
Prison is Temporary – a plan is helpful.
My goal in this series is to provide you with the information you’ll need to survive and navigate these times because Knowledge and Preparation will help build back the Confidence you’ll need throughout this process.
· Since you’ve heard that the DOJ and Feds have been asking questions, their case against you is mostly complete, with a
98% Conviction Rate.
· Delaying to act now is at your peril.
· Hiring a legal team doesn’t just mean they have experience; they also need a proven track record of successfully defending cases like yours.
· The choices you make today – will make a better tomorrow.
Should you have questions, please do not hesitate to call and consider engaging my services at 240.888.7778—this is your life.
The Probation Officer who conducts your presentence interview is the most Important person in your life.
Why?
· Because judges listen to their recommendations, the length of your sentence, and suggest a specific prison placement.
· They will conduct your Presentence Interview and Investigation, so please be aware of the need to be prepared and organized before you meet with them.
How?
· You will be asked to provide a lot of information, which needs to be comprehensive, accurate, and free of spelling errors. This includes copies of;

It is best to provide all of your information to the court officer (Probation Officer) one week before your meeting after it has been organized and completed.
· Why?
-
Probation Officers are Overworked,
-
have no time and
-
most will appreciate you providing everything they need so they can begin filling out their Presentence Report Worksheet before meeting you.
-
Then, at the Interview, they have the time to get to know you personally and ask any remaining questions that they may have.
