Federal Sentencing ExpertiseMedical Care | Sentence Mitigation | Reentry Planning | *Personal Narrative | *Presentence Interview Preparation | RDAP | Security Level | Medication Availability | PPRS Prison Match™ – BOP Placement Options I have been in practice for 30+ years (and yes, my license has been fully restored), and along with my experience in the BOP following a White-Collar Conviction, I've chosen to use my skills to assist those who, like me, now find themselves going through this life-altering event. Should you find yourself an FBI Target, time is something we don't have as the feds have a 98% conviction rate. Regarding your case - it's likely their investigation is finished. For you, the time is now to find an attorney and learn the steps you need to take to prepare yourself. From me, the internet or referrals, search and interview, make a choice and plan. I can give you this advice because NO ONE WAS THERE TO GIVE ME MINE. First: the attorney: decide, Trial or Plea. Second: If you're Guilty, you only have 90 days (usually) until the sentencing hearing, and a lot you need to prepare for:The Presentence Interview You have a lot of documents to get copies ofcharacter reference letters (~7)They should know you (or be a current or former employer) and be aware of your legal chargesregarding community service things or events that you have helped them withYour "Personal Narrative" (Most CRITICAL), to include in your Presentence Interview (also CRITICAL), or unfortunately you were sentenced without any preparation (or are already inside) - we can work with that too. Why is your Interview Critical? Because with it, the Probation Officer drafts the Presentence Report which all stakeholders use to control your future. These parties are The Judge, the BOP, your case manager, the counselor, and other BOP staff.Then It affects how quickly you reach the halfway house and home confinement. It is the Gift That Keeps On Giving.I appreciate you taking the time to listenYou can email meor Call: 240.888.7778If I do not pick up, please leave a message with your number as I personally answer and return all of my own calls.

GEORGE SANTOS EVENTUALLY CHOSE TO PLEAD GUILTY.
GEORGE SANTOS EVENTUALLY CHOSE TO PLEAD GUILTY.But,IS HE CAPABLE OF ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY?AND IS HE CAPABLE OF EXPRESSING REMORSE FOR THE VICTIMS HE'S HARMED?LET'S HOPE SO.Former Rep. George Santos eventually pleaded guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.Possible conflict?Rolling Stone: “My sins here are embellishing my resume. I’m sorry,“ Really? This conflicts with accepting responsibility and his superseding indictment.“A short time ago, after years of telling lies, former Congressman George Santos stood in the courthouse behind me and finally, under oath, told the truth. And that truth is that he is a criminal,” U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said. “Santos pled guilty to serious crimes involving fraud and identity theft. He also admitted to committing all other crimes he was charged with in the superseding indictment. As a result, he will finally be held to account for his actions.”U.S. Attorney Breon Peace stated that the plea deal could result in a sentence ranging from 6 to 8 years. He is scheduled for sentencing on Feb. 7 at the New Your Federal Court in Central Islip.HIS FUTURE.First, A well-written Personal Narrative is the one thing he can do to help the Judge understand who he is, as they know crimes don’t happen in a vacuum. But this requires Mr. Santos to be honest with himself, or an attorney hiring someone to do this (but Mr. Santos must be willing), or a family member who sees him for who he is and believes they can help him change – and he wants to. Otherwise, all judges have great BS detectors; this is a line you don’t want to cross.A complete medical and mental healthcare evaluation could reasonably explain but not excuse his past actions for his defense.6-Year Sentence: (equals 72 Months)GTC: 52 ( days off per year good time credit) x 6 (years) = (approximately) 312 days off his sentence[ The Caveat: He Does Not Get In Trouble: Can He Be Trusted To Stay Out Of Trouble?]ETC ~ 1 Year OFF Sentence For 2 Years of FSA ETC [The Caveat: Can He Be Trusted To Stay Out Of Trouble? If Not-Possibly No ETC]RDAP? Eligible, we don’t know.His Judge.To date, his actions conflict with what most judges already know and now want to hear.His counsel is paid to lessen his sentence.The DOJ wants a conviction, and to that end, has told Mr. Santos's Story in the form of their Indictment.The Prosecutor wants prison time to protect society:Retribution. This pillar seeks to punishmentDeterrence. Discourage an offender from committing crimes again.Incapacitation. PrisonRehabilitation.Has George Santos been able to share a well-written, heartfelt narrative with the court, where he expresses genuine remorse for the number of victims he has harmed, with a plan to make amends that demonstrates his accepting responsibility?Only time will tell.Marc, Dr. BlatsteinHumanizing Your Client Through Their Personal Narrative, Release Plan, and AllocutionPPRSUS.com240-888-7778
