Sam Mangel and his team bring back peace of mind into your life…
Sam Mangel has been life saver helping me manage the stress and anxiety of handling all that goes into become a white color convict.
He is there when you need him. He sheds light and educates you on the unfamiliar and scary world of sentencing, incarceration, and probation. The peace of mind he brings back to your life is priceless.

I was LOST, but now I'm FOUND!
I was LOST, but now I'm found!!! I didn't know my designation nor my J & C when I met this team. I was scared, mad, frustrated and lost. Sam and Larry changed my life. I constatnly tell folks I met them 8 months too late. My PSR didn't accurate reflect my situation, experiences, nor my short comings. Through the gudiance and help of this team, I have a good chance of being located 2 1/2 hours from my family versus 7 hours. Additionally, Sam and Larry guided my attorney with drafted orders (Larry) and RDAP information and conference calls (Sam) to assist me with my illness and possible treatment, and presenting to the courts on my behalf. I've learned how to advocate for myself and become productive while incarcerated. Most importantly, my wife feels better about our situation as she listens to the zoom calls with me. Justin, Sam, Larry, Scott and the other team members are now our family. Michael Santos is a genius, and I want to be like him when I grow up.

Today was a positive turning point...
I've received so much "advice" from so many different "professionals." Until working with Sam Mangel at White Collar Advice, I was getting nowhere. Today I got solid advice and a clear path forward on what exactly I need to do to achieve my goals. Knowledge is liberating. Thanks, Sam!

This is the BEST HELP I had
This is the BEST HELP I had. By working with them, I had a team of experts who have gone through what I was about to go through on my side. They are very responsive to all my calls, emails, and text 24/7. Every time I had a question that scared me, I reached out to them and they would give me an honest answer and not only that, they will go above and beyond to get me prepared. My words will never be enough how great they are and how much I appreciate the whole team. My sincere suggestion to you is that wherever you are in your journey, just reach out to this team. Justin, Michael, Sam, Larry are the people that helped me and you will never regret. I regret not reaching out to them sooner.

Thank you Justin Paperny
Thank you Justin Paperny, Sam, Larry, Brad, Michael Santos & Carole and the whole white collar advice team.
As a defendant facing 41-51 months.
I had my sentencing yesterday. The Judge gave me a year and a day sentence. My judge even stated my narrative at sentencing and also spoke of the charity work I did with Prison Professors as well as me working two jobs leading up to sentencing. Justin emphasized to work as much as you can. I am elated and grateful that I called Justin at white collar advice.
If I just went through my journey with my lawyer alone I feel whole heartedly that I would have received a guideline sentence. I’m not knocking my attorney at all in fact he did a great job.
I called Justin the same day I received a phone call from the government. Justin told me that I had to put in a lot of work from start to finish. I did just that !
When you hire White collar advice they provide you with a blueprint and all the tools tactics and resources for you to get the best possible outcome for yourself. You have to put in the work, after all it is your freedom.
They were always there to take my calls and Give me the best advice. If I didn’t hire white collar advice and just hired a lawyer I would have been lost and my sentence would have been a lot longer. White collar advice are absolute EXPERTS at what they do. The other prison consultants out there CANNOT hold a candle to White Collar Advice.
I encourage everyone out there facing legal challenges whether you are early in your investigation or you have got sentenced pick up your phone immediately and call Justin at white collar advice. It will be the absolute best decision you can make for you and your family.
Thank you kindly, Justin, Michael, Sam, Brad, Larry and the whole team. I’m eternally grateful for all of your guidance, assistance and support.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart

Better than an attorney
Sam has been my point of contact since day one, I enlisted his services after receiving a federal prison sentence and finding out I was going to a higher security facility that I belong in. My attorney at the time was absolutely clueless on what to do and completely dropped the ball… after having my consultation with Sam I knew these folks were the ones for the job and they sure were. Within 24 hours of receiving my retainer they had the necessary paperwork drafted up and got the ball rolling. Within 2 weeks of having them “on payroll” they provided results and I’m going to a low security facility instead of a much more violent and volatile place, I HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone who has legal issues at the federal level!

Federal trouble? Call these folks.
Going to Federal Prison is not on anyone's bucket list. It is terrifying and the level of bureaucracy is astronomical. These folks take you by the hand, give you a reassurance, and then make you ready to take on the challenge. Their goal is to get you through this with your dignity intact, with a future that is promising. They give honest and frank information. I will be entering my sentence with a clear understanding of what will come. The biggest mistake I made was not contacting these folks in the millisecond that I received the target letter. The DOJ has a 97% conviction rate. Give yourself a chance.
