Invaluable Guidance and Support Through Every Step
White Collar Advice was invaluable in helping me understand each step of the process and prepare for what lay ahead. Just as importantly, they connected me with a supportive community of people who had been through similar experiences. Their guidance and connections made a difficult, often isolating journey much easier to navigate. I highly recommend them.

I just was released from Federal Prison…
I just was released from Federal Prison and wanted to talk with Justin and his team thanking them for everything that they have done for me and my family. I served a two year sentence that was very difficult time but White Collar advice gave me the tools that I needed to lower my Federal sentence while also providing recommendations to utilize my time behind bars for the good of myself, my family and the community. I made a huge business mistake that I do not believe I should have received prison for but I have preserved through the experience and believe it or not has made me a better person. Thanks again Justin for your advice and time. Joining White Collar Advice was a great decision.

Real Help When Real Help Was Needed
During a time in which support and expertise were sorely needed, White Collar Advice was there for me in every way. WCA served as a skilled guide for me as I encountered previously unknown and definitely treacherous territory. Having help from professionals who had “been there and done that” was truly invaluable. Highest possible recommendation.

Brilliant leader and staff.
These are some of the most knowledgeable and helpful people I have ever met, especially Justin Papernay. He wrote the textbook on ethics and lives it every day.

Grateful for White Collar Advice
Justin and the entire team at White Collar Advice has been so supportive and informative from my very first phone call to them several months ago. The communication, services and support come from a space of true concern and most importantly years and years of living experience. I am truly grateful to have Justin and White Collar Advisors in my corner, giving me good solid direction in this the most difficult time in my life and my family's life.

A Godsend for Families Navigating the Federal System
I cannot recommend White Collar Advice and CEO Justin Paperny enough. Discovering this team has been an absolute Godsend for my family.
My husband is currently going through the federal system, and before we found Justin, we were lost, confused and overwhelmed. Since implementing his advice, everything has changed. We now have a clear strategy, a sense of confidence, and a better understanding of how the system works. For the first time, we feel like we have a fighting chance.
We found Justin through his partner, Michael Santos, and they have truly built a company that moves mountains. They are not just consultants; they are advocates—and if you ask me, they're angels. They are attentive, wise, considerate, and treat you like family. The most important lesson we learned from them is the concept of the "Purple Cow"—being extraordinary, advocating for yourself, and never giving up!
My family will be forever grateful to Justin and the entire White Collar Advice team. I recommend them to anyone else I meet who is navigating this difficult journey. If you are looking for guidance, look no further.

white collar advice was a life raft while drowning
Going to the federal system, I would liken it a lot too like treading water. Each next step adds a weight and stress and the process is anything but slow. White Collar Advice was a life raft during this. It didn’t remove me from my problems, but Justin and Michael gave me a sturdy platform away from reactive panic to be able to digest where I currently was, where I needed to go, and how to get there. I was connected to Justin by a mutual friend and quickly understood that he was both knowledgeable and trustworthy. That was huge because up to this point my trust in the system had been dissolved. If you’re thinking about an advocate or like me, you’ve had several advocates self reach out on various platforms due to having a public case. No one is going to care more about your case more than you and White Collar advice sets you up to be the best self advocate. White Collar Advice is the best option and I vetted many other advocate processes.
I’m beyond thankful for the continued advice and support of both Justin at WCA and Michael.

Great sentencing outcome!
I can not begin to convey how transformative my experience was working with the team at White Collar Advice. It was a great investment that yielded an amazing outcome. My guidelines were above 51 months, the prosecutor pushed for the guidelines.
However, I didn’t sit back and expect my lawyer to do everything. I began to build a new record, document my journey, accepted responsibility, continued to work, and volunteered. The judge highlighted this during my sentencing.
The judge imposed a sentence of a year and a day. This was a significant downward departure from 54 months.
The principles work, but not without you. You have to do the work
