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.

WHAT DOES YOUR JUDGE WANT TO KNOW?
WHAT DOES YOUR JUDGE WANT TO KNOW?INDICTED AND FACING PRISONI’m Dr. Marc Blatstein. I’ve been where your clients are and am here to help them on their journey. With work, I got my license reinstated and my career back. While I can’t make promises, preparing for the PSI (Narrative, Release Plan, and Allocution) is critical for a successful journey; from my experience, it is both needed and helpful.Preparing for release (at least considering it) before your PSI is a step in the right direction. You may do something completely different, but having a Plan and Daily Routine for day 1 in prison that outlines what to expect is a good start.Remember, prison is a temporary phase in your life. Acquiring knowledge and preparing for the legal process will help you regain the confidence to navigate this challenging period.Judges Understand that Crimes Don’t Happen in a VacuumJudges knowYour attorney is paid to keep you out of prison.The DOJ wants a conviction.The Prosecutor first wants to protect society because you represent everything terrible.The one person that the judge knows nothing about is you, the defendant, and what happened and why. Are you willing to have that heart-to-heart talk?– Federal Judge Patrick J. Schiltz: “It’s surprising how many otherwise competent attorneys ‘punt’ at the sentencing hearing.”Federal Judge Robert N. Scola: “Don’t wait to think about sentencing advocacy. ” Since 99 percent of federal criminal clients will face sentencing, start preparing the case early.– Federal Judge Mark Bennett on the importance of writing your personal narrative and including it in your pre-sentence report.Now is your time to convince the court that you have started on the right path.This begins with your Personal Narrative and a Release Plan.Prepared with all the information requested by the probation officer and provided before your Interview.Being prepared for your interview, your officer has had time to fill out their PSR Worksheet and will now have time at the interview to personally meet and get to know you and ask any remaining questions they may have.He/she comes away from the interview with an impression of someone who could be the opposite of the one portrayed in the Indictment.To have your concerns answered, Call me Today: 240.888.7778. This is my personal Cell, and I answer and return all calls.You can also get additional information on my website: PPRSUS.com Physician Presentence Report Service, LLC.
