Our mitigation memorandums have been praised by prosecutors and judges at the state and federal level for being the most comprehensive and thorough they have ever seen, following up with below guidelines and rehabilitative-focused sentences for our clients.

Charged as a co-conspirator in a multi-million dollar scheme that defrauded auto insurance companies in Florida. Specific charges included racketeering, conspiracy to commit mail, wire, and healthcare fraud, and conspiring to commit money laundering. “LB” faced a maximum statutory sentence of 80 years in prison. Our written sentencing memorandum helped the defense work out a plea deal with prosecutors to 7 years incarceration. Our client was released in 2 years for health-related issues.
Charged with with laundering narcotics proceeds for international drug organizations. Faced more than 20 years and was sentenced to 2 years in prison. Our mitigation team submitted a complete mitigation memorandum and we helped client prepare his allocution.
Charged with operating an illegal business and employing illegal aliens. Faced with 4 years imprisonment and was sentenced to 6 months, however she only served 3 months and was released on good behavior. Our team completed a full mitigation package (written report and video). We also helped our client with her allocution.
A single mother of 2 children was charged with and convicted of health care fraud conspiracy and conspiracy to commit money laundering. As a first time offender and playing the smallest part in the conspiracy, she was sentenced to 17 years in prison. Our clemency application and advocacy efforts led to her sentence being commuted.
LL conspired to commit mail and wire fraud. He was the assistant to an administrator at a private school and he plead guilty to his role in stealing 3.2 million from the federal government; money that was intended to go to the most needy of children for school lunches. J.L. faced 3-4 years imprisonment. Our written memorandum was instrumental in J.L. receiving a sentence of five-years’ probation, 1000 hours of community service, and restitution.
MM faced felony charges after her infant daughter nearly died from her shaking her too violently. Our client faced a 5 year sentence of incarceration. We worked with the client and helped her obtain appropriate mental health assessments, diagnosis, and on-going treatment. We coordinated with a forensic psychologist who conducted all the psychological evaluations and wrote a written report. He also spoke on a mitigation video that was made for the judge. Her judge stated at sentencing that he was giving her the most lenient sentence in his 30 year career on the bench. He sentenced her to 2 years to be served on the weekends. This way her infant daughter and 5 year old son would not have to bear the trauma of being separated from her again.
Judges in criminal court and immigration court have praised our reports as the most thorough they have read & agree with many of our recommendations for mercy, rehabilitation, and compassionate justice.
