Terrific video and so so true! My attorney really had no business practicing federal law. Every good outcome I had came from White Collar Advice and standing up for myself! If your facing a federal charge do not leave it up to your attorney! Do the work yourself!
Thank you so much for your message. Our team was so grateful to have helped help you. Also, thank you for all of your contributions to our Skool community.
Madness Justin , straight madness. You best believe if I’m spending that much on a lawyer I’m doing my research. This is why legal advocacy is an essential gear of the criminal justice system.
Most good trial lawyers would begin immediately with negotiating a plea if your client comes in professing guilt. $275,000 for a guilty plea? 94 percent lose when charged by the feds. My family won decades ago but it’s a tough experience even when you win. Our lawyer was straight forward and very clear about the challenge ahead. The government had resources we did not have but my parents wanted to fight on and thank God we prevailed. Before you start writing checks do your research and ask around because this very expensive experience even in victory. I have the impression from this story that the defendant did very little research and went with whoever agreed to represent him first. Not a good idea.
Agreed. My attorney blew goats. But, I knew I was guilty, so I owned my part in the crime, paid him a buttload of money and did my time. Any public defender could have done what he did. Live and learn. Oh, and the hair gives you tons of cool cred with your kid. You can’t beat that my friend.
Depends on the prisoner. You should read my book Lessons From Prison, if you would like to learn about life in a camp. The book is free at WhiteCollarAdvice.Com
The reason that attorneys want to go through discovery is to protect themselves against malpractice since they cannot give correct counsel whether to plea guilty or not without seeing some discovery.
If you watch the video and read the text I inserted, of course, I mention that they have to go through some discovery or investigative process. That should go without saying. I had wonderful lawyers, thankfully. In my case, it took them about four days after going through some evidence to make clear that I would’ve lost at trial. And it should be even clear when you have a client saying,” I stole money. I broke the law I did it. I am guilty.”
Nice video. Something similar from the experiences of friends and acquaintances, but without a prison term at the end. I left the law, got another degree, and went into academe. When you look around for doctoral programs, everyone wants to go with the Big Name. Certainly the Big Name will get you job offers. The Big Name will get you opportunities for research and conferences and travel. It's the good academic life. What I found to be true among doctoral students I met across various disciplines and universities, is that those who were able to get with the Big Name regretted it. The Big Name was never available. The Big Name didn't do timely reviews of their dissertation drafts and they ended up spending a couple of years longer to finish the degree. The Big Name treated them like garbage. The Big Name turned out to be racist or a misogynist. The Big Name thought you should make it on your own and offered no help. It ain't worth it. Don't be mislead by the hype around the Big Name.
I got lucky. When I was sixteen years old I got into trouble. Exactly what is not important, but let's just say there was and interesting spectrum of potential charges. Most egregious (apparently) was _contempt of cop._ I was bum rushed into and arraignment in adult court for... for...for.... that's technically a variable that was never clarified. At first it was speeding and reckless driving, then DUI and GTA. The officer submitted three reports to the DA and all of the had different statements of fact. Well, they were no facts. I was sixteen, without a lawyer; I did not have DL and I did not have access to a car, and finally they didn't have a make, model, or even color of the car I stole, and then they lost it. I pointed all this out to the judge, who was growing angrier by the syllable, and frequent and loud interruptions by the DA and AO. Over this cacophony we heard a firm, yet quiet voice. _"Your honor, may I confer with my client?"_ And that is how I met *Larry Tindale.* The most successful lawyer I've ever met. I was his bodyguard, PI, chauffer, messenger and bag man. And a few things as needed. He became my lawyer, my councilor, my mentor and my friend. His first sage advise was _"STFU!"_ And then, *_Never do crime with stupid people._* I once did a seven minute monolog of nothing but "I want my Lawyer" I used voice inflections and hand gestures like I was telling a story. I hate cops.
If there was a White Collar Advice and Bruce Rivers collab my head would explode. Great videos and advice, thank you!

My GOD ... this is almost my exact situation right now. Play for play. Unreal.
Great video. Great insight. Thank you for the clarity on how things tend to be once one is justice impacted.
Thank you.
Thanks for the shoutout pal! Dying to know who the trial lawyer of the year is. 😂

How bad is a federal prison camp ? Is it a really miserable experience or in any way fun at times ?

Better yet public defender save the rest for commissary
Or your victims...
@@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial absolutely not
@@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficialdo you offer services for those being investigated but not charged
I bet that ther are a lot of people who really hate. But I think of that film clip of FDR on which he mischievously declared: "I welcome their hate!"
I love that quote. Thanks for sharing.
I’m in your database Justin. Ugh tho. This is a public forum… 😢
I found you too late pre-sentencing… unfortunately :( 2021 or 2022 1st 1/4.
