Why we do this

The lawyer's job is done at sentencing
We offer a road map to the earliest possible release date

Federal post-conviction relief opportunities exist in a dynamic legal landscape. First Step Act credit assessments, Second Chance Act criteria, compassionate release case law, sentence reductions, and clemency each depend on different law, policy, calculations, and deadlines.

Our system connects those moving parts to one specific case. From the focus of that single case we explore all related case law and current policy with the singular goal of finding the path to the soonest possible release date.

What we deliver

Not a chatbot response
A complete report built for each defendant

The Assessment gives the defendant a clear, printed roadmap focused on the earliest possible release. It separates the record, law, BOP policy, and our analysis so a pro se filer or counsel can see where each finding comes from.

  • First Step Act calculationsWe calculate expected and maximum possible FSA credit days using the latest BOP policy.
  • Second Chance Act assessmentWe assess all five SCA factors and identify the records, participation requirements, and timing that affect each one.
  • Complete case law assessmentWe compare the defendant’s case with the latest Supreme Court and circuit rulings, along with changes in the law.
  • Earliest release roadmapWe organize the strongest documented paths, administrative remedy requirements, program information, and relevant timing.
  • Research a defendant can useThe report may be used by a pro se filer or reviewed with counsel. We do not draft or file anything.
