White Collar AdviceReviews of whitecollaradvice.com

I ran across White Collar Advice and Justin Paperny/Michael Santos for a problem I was dealing with regarding the government. The website and associated videos were incredibly helpful, and provided immense value at no cost. I was able to read through and watch their information ( including associated websites) for several months, taking notes and following their guidance. Their recommendations about internalizing what you have learned from any mistakes, accepting responsibility, feeling and showing genuine remorse and having a plan moving forward were invaluable. I had a great Pre-Sentence interview ( based on a number of their articles/videos online) and was able to put together a personal narrative and proper character letters using their information. On the scale of things, my issue was "smaller" than some ( but a big deal to me!). If it were not for an immense personal issue, that believe it or not was far more significant than a government investigation, I definitely would have hired them for help along the way. Scott Laney, my contact, was extremely considerate, informative and definitely recommended. In the end, I received about 1/2 the sentence the government wanted, and was even complemented by the Judge for my taking responsibility, showing regret in my actions as well as words, and having a game plan moving forward.....Thank you Scott/Justin/Michael and White Collar Advice!

The team at WC have a wealth of information that is very valuable to all justice impacted people. They were able to help me come up with mitigating strategies that have positively impacted my outcomes.

Navigating the legal process has proven to be the most challenging chapter in my life. I could never have fathomed that the consequences of my poor decisions would be so weighty. I felt utterly adrift until I discovered the invaluable guidance provided by White Collar Advice, Prison Professors, and the Earning Freedom Community. Whether you're currently on this arduous journey or about to embark on it, remember that you need not face it alone. Seeking support can be a life-saving decision, as it unquestionably was for me. Although we can't rewrite our past, we do have the power to shape our future. Take the first step toward a brighter tomorrow by connecting with this remarkable company.

Justin did an amazing job explaining his story. Many of my coworkers shared the same sentiment, and some even said they were "Hanging on every word." Justin spoke to our team as part of our focus on our company value of integrity, and he made clear that the value of integrity can bring to the workplace. The presentation was done via Zoom, which can be a challenge for some, but not for Justin. He spoke clearly, told his story, and held the attention of everyone. It didn't feel like a typical online presentation. Justin is an absolute professional and responded in a timely manner. We engaged a few speakers and Justin by far was the most responsive, super easy to work with, and was very accommodating to our timeline. 10/10 recommend.

Since the harrowing day the FBI first knocked on my door, Justin’s advice has given me hope and life affirming direction. In addition to helping me frame my letter of allocution in ways that served to greatly reduce my federal sentence, from a potential five year ceiling to six months, he has helped me transform my experiences throughout the entire journey - from pre sentencing, through incarceration, and through home confinement, and probation. In essence, he has helped me take responsibility for my actions in ways that I am not focused on damage control, but in taking control of my behaviors in positive, responsible, and humble ways. Through his example, I learned the value of making each day in prison count - and not just count the days. Through his videos and webinars, he continues to provide me with information and inspiration that helps guide me to live a more responsible, humble, and authentic life. I am forever in his debt.

I was just sentenced today in Federal court. This nightmare started in April of 2022. I thought my life was over because I did not know my future. I was looking at three charges between 24 and 36 months of prison, which was the low end of the guidelines. I could not believe how and why that it happened but the facts were I did something wrong and the Federal Government was going to prosecute me. I watched youtube videos and Found White Collar advice, and I called Justin Paperny. We started to work right away, and it gave me hope that my outcome could be something that I could overcome. Brad Rouse was a great counselor who talked me into reality. He helped me write my pre-sentence narrative. I just knew this document would help me and it did. Just by going through everything with Brad it helped calm my mind and give me that hope that I so needed. It was a long year but staying in contact with Brad helped me survive it. I accepted a plea deal in March and my next big step was the Probation report. My lawyer was hesitant to give it to my Officer who was doing the report until he read it. He actually emailed her a copy a few days in advance so she would have it. When I met with my officer they were impressed that we were prepared. She had the report in hand and the interview went great. She even commented about how beneficial it was to have so much information to work with making her job easier. When my report came back my lawyer was really excited about how well the report was written showing the good in my life. He stated that the report had a lot of really good points that will help at sentencing. The PSIR report was a tool that helped me out at sentencing. I ended up getting 18 months of probation instead of prison time. Putting in the work that Justin s team told me to do worked. It gave me goals to accomplish and kept my hope alive. I do not wish this process upon anyone because it is hell and the only way out is to keep moving forward.

I think relieved would be the best word to describe how I feel after my sentencing hearing. I was facing 2 counts being Aggravated Identity Theft and Conspiracy to commit wire fraud Prosecutors suggested 57 months in prison. I was sentenced to 20 months in prison, it still seems like a lot if you take into account that the best option is never prison, but you have to face that even though you are not a criminal and just made a bad decision, you are an adult and you need to face up to their responsibilities. I left the court feeling victorious, relieved and very happy and the context of all these feelings is why I was able to show the Judge through a 4 page letter and in my final speech who I really am and what led me to commit the error for which I was sentenced. Hearing the Judge say more than 3 times during the sentencing that after reading my letter and listening to my speech he could see who I really was, he could understand my character and that the letter was an insight for him to be able to absorb all the context from which I was inserted. Hearing the Judge say that from my letter he was sure I wouldn't commit another crime. Hearing the Judge say that he saw me as a good citizen and that he could see a good future in me, hearing all this was what made me leave victorious and relieved. The Judge gave me 45 days to self surrender and now I have time to organize the start of my journey. My feeling of facing prison now is completely different, I feel confident and I know that my time in confinement will only strengthen my relationship with my wife and family as well as make me grow as a man and citizen. I no longer feel the fear of being away from my family, now I am looking forward to starting my time. To Michael and the whole team, I want to say thank you very much for all the time, for guiding me in this journey not only for the letter and the speech but for being able to understand everything I could say about myself and demonstrate this to the Judge. Prosecutors will say the worst possible things about you that's their job. Your job is to show who you really are the truths about yourself and that in the end will make all the difference as it did for me.

What White Collar Advice did for my brother was remarkable. They helped him not only realize the error of his ways, but effectively got his sentenced reduced from 41 months (which could have been much more) to just over 1 year time served. They helped him utilize the programs available in the system to not only get his time reduced, but to seriously better his life and his chances to never repeat offend. Thank you, White Collar Advice!
