As the wife to a husband with a white collar crime, I can personally say how much this group of men at prison professors and white collar advice has helped my husband and I navigate this journey. They helped us prepare, guided us through the expectations, and made themselves available for any questions we had.
Now, as my husband serves his time, white collar advice still remains a tool with the webinars they host on a weekly basis.
I would recommend this group 100% as they have helped my husband tremendously and am confident they would meet and exceed your needs as well.

White Collar Advice Cares About You & Your Outcome!
White Collar advice empowered me to advocate for myself. I was able to educate myself through their resources on Prisonprofessors.com and ask questions during their free weekly webinars. I was able to connect with Scott Laney and he was straight forward and cared about my situation because he knows from his own experience what I am going through. If your like me, your broke from Attorney fees and government fines. I needed to pick and choose what I could do for myself and what I needed help with from Scott and his team. With the help of white collar advice I was successfully able to become RDAP eligible and re-designated after my sentencing already took place. It wasn't easy. It involved a court order, letter from my rehab center and many phone calls and emails. I couldn't have done it without Scott's guidance. I surrender tomorrow and will keep you guys updated on my status. Thanks!

The team here has been extremely helpful with my release plan preparations
The team here has been extremely helpful. I have attended their webinars weekly, and learned a lot of how to better prepare. In addition, the team has helped provide me with information our team needed that were able to submit for a hearing and they worked together with my attorneys to help draft the needed brief. Also, they helped provide me with information on how to create a detailed release plan, and they helped me review my release plan so I could add needed information to it. With their help I was able to expand my release plan to include more relevant information that i hasn’t thought to be relevant. In addition, they gave me the opportunity to host a free online webinar workshop to teach others how to create their own release plan.
I felt proud to be able to help others create a release plan, and I appreciated the time and opportunity they gave me to do so.
I feel much more prepared and ready now that I have gotten involved with their team. I highly recommend them and their help. Without them, I would have been lost an unsure of what to do. Now, I feel prepared and understand well what to expect and to do and not to do.

It is never too late to seek a better outcome...
I can't explain how grateful I am to have found Michael and the entire team. Though I found them after my sentencing, they have prepared me in ways I did not know beforehand. They truly know this area as they have been either in or affected by the system. I would have walked inside with only my hands in my pocket hadn't it been finding this team and knowing I can prepare for my release before I ever start my journey.
No matter what stage you are in this journey, they can provide you with the information you need to overcome this challenge. I am so glad I put my trust in this team in preparing me for a better outcome I would have been able to articulate on my own.

Saved me nearly 50% on sentence
Richie S. : Client since investigation began.
Highly Highly Recommended. I have worked with them since the pre-charge(investigation) phase. Sooner you start, sooner you can advocate a possible better plea deal and sentencing. Lawyers CANNOT be your only tool. Simple. Start with the webinars, connect with their team, and go from there.
I got assistance on PSR preparation,character letters,personal narrative,release plan, and Allocution. I attended their webinars and resources made available. They taught me how to advocate! My PSR included my personal narrative and release plan. PSR is your prison “bible”. I was looking at 13-15yrs and I am now looking at 7.5-8.5. If it wasn’t for them, I would NOT be where I am at today. Fact. They helped me on medical prep, RDAP prep, prison prep, prison designation. Lastly, because of their work, I had my supervision modified in my favor prior to my sentence. Again, advocacy is the only way. Lawyers WILL not do that! Lawyers file legal motions, they don’t do the actual advocacy/mitigation work for you which can ONLY be done by you. If I didn’t have them, I would have been looking at longer sentence and not known about programs to reduce time. Fact. Please reach out to them. Amazing team. Michael, Justin, Scott, Brad.

I found Scott and Michael to be immensely helpful in providing guidance and advice as I worked to research my case. They were patient and attentive, taking the time to understand the specific complexities of my case and offering thoughtful suggestions on how to approach my research in a more strategic and effective way.
What impressed me most about Scott and Michael was their depth of knowledge and expertise in this field. They had a keen eye for identifying areas where I could improve my research methods, and their guidance helped me to quickly and confidently navigate the complexities of my case.
Overall, I would highly recommend Scott Laney and Michael Santos to anyone looking to research their case more effectively. Their support and expertise were truly invaluable to me, and I am so grateful for their help. Thank you, Scott and Michael!

The representative was extremely kind, caring, and understanding. He truly took the time to listen to me in an effort to understand how he could best help me. I would absolutely recommend this person!
The representative was extremely informative and well versed in addressing my needs, questions, and concerns. I now have a clear understanding of where I need assistance, and how they can be of help to me.
I was very pleased to learn exactly what I can do to help my cause as it relates to sentence mitigation. I will be facing sentencing soon, and now feel very confident that I will be fully prepared.
This is a very difficult time for me, but my representative has already helped me tremendously.
