Book a consultation
Sit down for an hour with Brandon Sample and talk through the federal sentence — what the Guidelines range should be, what the judge needs to hear, or whether a sentence that is already final can come down.

What happens in the hour
- We go over the judgment, the presentence report (PSR) if you have it, and the Guidelines range.
- We tell you plainly which options look realistic, and whether this is work we can take on.
- If more work makes sense, you get a separate quote for that work after the hour.
What to have nearby
Have the case number (also called the docket number), the judgment — the court's final order that states the sentence — the presentence report (PSR) if you have a copy, any sentencing memorandum already filed, and any hearing date or deadline. If your family member is in prison and has health problems, Bureau of Prisons (BOP) medical records help too. If you are not sure what applies, that is fine; that is what the hour is for.
Until then, ask your family member not to discuss the case on prison phones or prison email. Those calls and messages are recorded.
