Great video & wealth of info. Especially about the lawyers not telling their clients to mitigate right away. Once indicted, I can only guess at the feelings, maybe the denial or the disbelief and maybe almost a form of disassociation that sets in. It's heartbreaking to watch. I'll tell you that. If you care for and love your family and friends and supporters, this man's information is spot on. It's gotta be the most difficult thing to address, and the weight no doubt is enormous, but maybe that's present so as to learn what needs to be learned. It is what it is. Coincidentally, someone pointed out today that the number of people being indicted for things that really no one knew was even chargeable is rising in this country. I'm not here to judge or take sides. I'm only saying that this is sage advice from experience (I'm not related nor do business with author of this post).
Let’s not go down a road that implies indictments come out of thin air. Yes, there are times when indictments are a stretch. I can imagine what an indictment is like at the federal level. It happened twice for the same circumstances in my family. Even though my family member got a not guilty you never forget the experience. My point being once you are in the situation the worst thing you can do is wonder how it happened. If you want to plead or if you want to take it to court, you got to plan accordingly.
For everyone reading my sister and I hired WCA for my dad. He would not get on the phone with Justin for months. He finally started to watch videos and they spoke. My dad got totally vested in his case and it changed the whole mood in our home. Justin also referred us to Diane Bass, who is the best! I love Justin's honesty. Even if my dad got 37 months (which is what they wanted) he felt better because he did the work and he knew he tried. He is in his 60s and it was super hard for him, but he did it! He only got a year and day but whatever happened he would have been fine. My dad's experience in prison was productive and it flew by thanks to the lessons he learned from WCA.
People often look back and know that at pivotal points when they made a poor judgement that even they knew better. I was so desperate to get a repair done on my house I gave a man a few hundred who I knew would not come through for a small job. Of course, he took the cash and I never saw him again but I learned a lesson to trust my instincts. The business executive learned that he knew better than to listen to bad advice but what a price that lesson exacted. All those years in prison.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that even if you can afford to not work if you’ve been convicted of an offense serious enough to go to federal prison you should as part of what they call in recovery circles “living amends”
Do you have any info on Herlong Satellite Camp? When I go on their website it only speaks about the work the inmates do on the main grounds for the medium security prison. No mention about pograms for FSA. Also, Herlong is about 570 miles from where I live. Any idea why they would place me there?
Thanks for writing. Yes I have some knowledge of that prison camp. Our team leads a free weekly webinar every Monday at 10 AM Pacific. Feel free to join and I’ll respond to your question. Go to White Collar Advice opt in and you’ll get the invitation for the webinar tomorrow.
Justin, I would like to know more data on how you can work the case in the "interim" just after you have been indicted. You say (correctly) that you need to "work your case" while an investigation is ongoing, not just against you but also by other "players" who may be negotiating better deals with prosecutors. I think that some lawyers are not skilled on working on "prosecutorial deals" and would rather just let the fire burn slowly. Other lawyers are more pro-active and willing to call prosecutors to get "inside information" on the investigation. My comment is it is NOT that easy to get inside information on your case. in order to do so, you also have to be willing to give up some more information that will weaken your case. The trade-off is not always obvious. All criminal investigations are a crop shoot. it is a value decision on whether or not you will want to plead guilty. Our laws are designed so that due to their complexity, the decision you have to make is not always obvious. That's my point. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)

alas, we are weak humans, but it's no excuse for always needing to try to do better or as best as we can !
