Federal Judges WANT These Questions ANSWERED Before Sentencing Hearings

- Hardly a day passes in federal prison without someone saying, "I assure you my sentencing judge had his mind made up the day of my sentencing hearing. Nothing my lawyer or I could have done would have changed the Judge's mind--nothing. It is what it is, you know?"
No, I do not know nor do I agree with the assessment that a Federal Judges mind is made up before the sentencing hearing even begins.
As an exercise, however, let's work under the idea your Federal Judges mind is indeed ALREADY MADE UP.
What then?
If that is the case, you better make sure your sentencing mitigation was extraordinary leading up to to the sentencing hearing. To accomplish that goal you will need to have a favorable federal pre sentence probation report (PSR), compelling first person narrative, best in class character reference letters and a well documented history of community service work.
Your mitigation work, in our opinion at White Collar Advice, should tackle the eight questions I pose below and address in this video.
01:50 - What have you been doing since getting arrested?
2:44 - What does that mean you are sorry?
3:38 - How do I know you will never return to this courtroom as a federal defendant?
5:04 - How will you make your victims whole?
6:08 - What will you do with the rest of your life?
8:25 - What fractures in your life led you to a federal sentencing hearing and federal prison?
10:14 - What have you learned through this experience?
13:12 - In what ways do you give back to your community?
14:55 - Have you been working leading up to your sentencing hearing?
Regardless of whether you think the Judge's mind is made up the day of your federal sentencing, you have to answer these questions.
Do not delay.
Do not wish for a better outcome at your sentencing hearing.
Do not outsource all of the work to your white collar defense attorney.
This is your life--take action, be authentic and work around the clock to demonstrate why you are better than the government's version of events.
Thank you,

Key takeaways: defendants must work every day to get the shortest sentence. Also thinking differently and trying to put yourself in the position of the Judge. Good stuff here!
It is essential defendants understand the stakeholders, including the Judge, case manager and probation officer.
I found that my judge in particular did not care much for allocation and highly favored PSR, probation recommendation and prosecutor recommendation. He read my sentence off of paper. I think judges typically do make up their mind before hand but I’m sure some can change last minute
Your hard work paid off! Happy for you and your family. You did well.
Thank god my dad was ready for the probation interview. Our lawyer told us it wasn't that big a deal and it would be a 20 minute interview. It was almost two hours ! And we got the narrative into the probationn report, thanks to you and your team!! You guys are the best!!!
Thank you. Your dad got a favorable report from probation for a reason--he did the work! So glad we are here to help guide the ship.
Good stuff, I recall you jumped right into another career path while waiting for your case to play out. You sold real estate with me for 3 years in SoCal. And I would do it again in a NY minute.. If you think Justin is funny and informative on video you should hang out with him for a day or two. He is the real deal
Honest good advice with real world examples. Great way to understand what a judge's mindset and thought process is when your livelihood lays in their hands. Important to use this as a tool when creating your strategy on how to approach a sentencing hearing or ever facing a judge for anything. Thank you for the insight!
Thank you for your insights and for contributing. I have notebooks full of notes from sentencing hearings I have attended. In future videos, I will share more "real world examples" of things Judges have said.
"Every minute spent in planning saves 10 minutes in execution." Brian Tracy. Great video and insights into what it takes to really, I mean, really prepare. You should share links to video with Judges.
Appreciate your insights, thank you. Based on the messages and calls we are getting, this video is leading people to take more action.
Justin is a great example of personal redemption. It’s not an easy path. But it’s the one that let’s a person look at themself in the mirror.
So glad there’s someone out there lighting the dimly path for others.
It’s the duel within that’s hardest to take on, but really the only one there truly is. 🧠🤺
I learned to listen more and speak less while vetting people out. To build stronger relationships with my children and grandchildren so that predators arent able to manipulate and divide us. Secure my personal items and investigate as soon as I see a problem with any affairs.
You cant do anything anymore once sentencing is scheduled because we have a minimum mandatory so if your facing that nothing will work to reduce anything
You mistakenly presume you’ll get the mandatory minimum sentence. The sentence could be higher, which is why you need to mitigate.
@@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial okay but if you know with the crown your getting the minimum there is no more going less that'd what I'm saying
why does the government give a shit if u work or not how u make ur money? as long as u make money who cares how it comes?
Is that paper ripping close to the mic nearly deafened me.
These criminals are not sorry if the criminal was able to behave properly he wouldn't be in front of the judge.
I used to feel the way you do. However, there are tens of thousands of regulations created by lawyers who are experts at building complexity.
Unfortunately it is rather “easy” to make a mistake that has recently become a felony.
This is particularly true for doctors. Back when Representative Pete Stark was in Congress, he “created” many NEW FELONIES.
Jail time for all of them.

@@sanjosemike3137 interesting perspective I did not know that
@@lfsmithme2 interesting examples: If you provide a laboratory business with your specimens and lab work, and they give you a DISCOUNT for some of your services, that is a FELONY for you to accept that discount.
You can go to Federal prison for that. So is neglecting to charge patients for their co-insurances. That is also a FELONY.
Paying an advertising company for patients they got for you is ALSO a felony. Doctors have served time in Federal prison for that. Real Estate people do that all the time. So do other businesspeople. I think lawyers can also do this. But NOT doctors.
Do you wonder WHY doctors vote for Donald Trump? All of the legislators who organized these new FELONIES are Democrats.

Some more felonies: A cardiologist prescribes more than about 50% of his patients with diagnostic Holter Monitors: The Feds "monitor" the percentage of patients of cardiologists. if they are over 50%, they can get a Miranda letter informing them they are being investigated for Medicare fraud. The Feds will look at the chart notes for them. Unless they can PROVE the charges by detailed chart notes, they will go to Federal prison. Now, it IS important for doctors to document need. But a single Miranda letter may very well make a doctor decide to quit medicine.
Podiatrists who go to nursing homes are expected to "donate" about half of their work. The plumber seeing drains in the nursing home will make more. If a podiatrist charges for changing the angle of an instrument by about 15 degrees, that is a FELONY. If you have an elderly parent in a NH, you may not be able to get their feet treated.
Democrats HATE private practice doctors because they don't usually vote for Dems. The same legislators will go to Walter Reed Hospital and DEMAND the very best neurosurgeon for their grandchild, who dived into a shallow lake, after signing legislation to reduce those doctor's income.
Are you WONDERING why it is so HARD to get an appointment with a physician? Could it be that they are super-crowded treating the illegal aliens whom they MUST see them as welfare patients?
I post on several online medical journals. I hear about these issues all the time. I was a surgeon. I was able to retire and did. It is not our personal obligation to supply the US with doctors and surgeons. Losing me was not good. I did a surgical residency at a VA and Army Hospital during the Vietnam War. I was also active during the HIV-AID's crisis. I treated everyone.
I have a close personal friend who was a board-certified neurological surgeon who quit medicine after 10 years. His loss was catastrophic for patients who might need a craniotomy. He became a lawyer! LOL. True.

@@sanjosemike3137 would you end up being charged with a felony for a few instances of would have to be a long-term pattern to actually be charged
"Your Honor, I have been forced to take a good, hard look at myself, and I now see the errors of my ways. Since pleading guilty to the crimes I've been accused of, I've become a born again Christian. I want to restore my victims who have been hurt so badly by my poor decisions. So upon my release from prison, I'll be embarking upon a new career...... as a faith healing televangelist! 😜
