After watching my loved one nearly sink into the abyss of despair and depression in anticipation of his upcoming sentencing hearing, I witnessed White Collar Crime change the course of events of his legal struggle into a victory for our family--in one week.   A plea bargain had been reached and incarceration recommended by the government.   Sentencing was one week away.  Over the months and years that led to this day, my ex-husband had been sharing with me the videos from White Collar Crime.  I had had the opportunity to watch these and to reflect on Justin's dignity, humility, and his organization's admirable mission to help others.  I had not quite connected the dots that his personalized help was available beyond these videos.    At the eleventh hour before sentencing, I reached out to Justin by email to give thanks for the meaningful material he has put into the public domain.   I never could have predicted what happened next.  Justin's immediate reply was gracious and to the point: was my loved one ready for the sentencing hearing?  Had he submitted a personal statement and was he ready to speak to the Judge?  I lacked confidence about those matters.  In fact, my ex's attorney had not addressed what he could personally do to improve his outcome.  After a short email exchange in which he expressed his ability to fill in the gaps in the legal defense, we were on the phone with Justin.  I realized with clarity that help was available and had been delivered to my doorstep. That very same day, just 5 business days before the sentencing hearing, Justin Paperny and Brad Rouse were interviewing my ex, helping him compile a personal history that would inform the Judge about who he was.  Brad carried the ball over the weekend, and into the long days that followed.  The two worked as a perfect tag team along with my ex.  This work did more than provide input to the judge absolutely critical to the best outcome, it also enabled my ex to evaluate his own life as one of dignity and accomplishment, in spite of mistakes.   It also provided materials to his attorney that were used to advocate for him at the sentencing hearing.  Finally, it raised him up enough to work hard with effectiveness in his own defense.   The interviews with Brad gave a structure and a work goal to the defendant who was too overwhelmed to do these things by himself.  Working together over those 5 days, Brad and Justin turned the course of events.  They interviewed my ex at length, produced the first draft of the personal statement, tailored his oral remarks to the court, and produced an important character reference letter when a friend agreed to be interviewed, all with lightning speed.   More than that, the telephone discussions and opportunity to reflect provided a lifeline of reasonable hope at a time that the weight was almost crushing.  White Collar Crime provided a way to do the hard work that no family member could help with. The expertise they brought was right on point and their recommendations are sound.  The happy outcome was a sentence of at-home supervision as opposed to incarceration.   I have no doubt that White Collar Crime turned a losing game into a win.  They took the ball to the one-yard line and boosted my loved one with the confidence to carry it across the goal line in his oral statement to the Judge. I am so glad for the fortuitous set of events that caused them to be on our team. I wish we had not acted so late.  I encourage any spouse or family member to get involved early, before the plea bargain, watch White Collar Crime's videos, and realize how their personalized help can be life-changing for your family.   Having said that, our experience shows it is never too late (including after sentencing) to seek their expertise.  I am eternally grateful to Brad and Justin.

My family hired Justin Paperny and talked/worked with Michael Santos to help understand and move through a federal investigation that impacted our entire family. Our discussions resulted in a dramatic shift in strategy that both saved us numerous headaches, but also resulted in a better outcome. The advice we received, while not always what we wanted to hear, was always spot-on. While I personally was not investigated, their advice has driven future decisions of mine with regards to proactive steps that have kept the reputation of both my wife and I beyond reproach, despite ending up in some atypical situations that could have ended poorly. If you are concerned about any potential federal investigation or unethical activities, you cannot pick up the phone fast enough.

I am pleased to write this review of Justin Paperny and his team at White Collar Advice and Compliance Mitigation. Justin and his team helped ensure I had a positive outcome at my sentencing—that sentencing ensured I avoid going to federal prison. During these past, long, 3 1/2 years since I plead guilty to antitrust violations, I have spent numerous hours reading and watching content provided by Justin and his team at WhiteCollarAdvice.com. The key was not just looking at the information, but taking the time to work with Justin and his team to implement the advice. There were so many lessons in there that helped me do the things necessary that brought me to the end result which ended up being home confinement & community service Vs the potential of one - two years in prison that I was expecting and fully believe the judge was prepared to hand down when the hearing started.. Especially helpful was the personal narrative that Justin and his team helped me write. Securing strong personal letters from family, colleagues and friends (just enough, but not too many) also helped. And finally, having a heart-felt personal statement that I gave during the sentencing hearing that focused on my crime, my remorse, and my desire to what I could to try and make amends Vs trying to place blame on others. The judge definitely stated that he believed what I was saying in that statement. Again I would like to thank Justin and his team at White Collar Advice and Compliance Mitigation. Please let me know if there's ever anything I can do to help support your great group in the future. Steve Hodge

I would highly recommend the team at Compliance Mitigation. Beyond their expertise, they provide unparalleled client service. They bring their real-life experience to help their clients.

Prison Professors, including of course, Michael Santos and Sam Mangel, gave me an incredible wealth of knowledge and guidance throughout my experience with my situation in the legal system. In my personal life, I am lucky to have supportive people around me, but I always felt very unclear about legal proceedings and choices I could make to position myself for a desired outcome. Michael Santos and Sam Mangel have informed and guided me more than I could ask for. I am very lucky to have discovered Prison Professors and am forever grateful to Michael Santos and Sam Mangel. I was able to communicate with them via phone, email and text messages. They are the definition of professionalism. I only wish I had discovered Prison Professors sooner. I highly encourage everyone seeking information and guidance regarding the legal system to contact Prison Professors immediately.

I’m happy to share my experience of working with the team at Compliance Mitigation. Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked in insurance. During that tenure, I served as the Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of three companies. Sadly, a bad decision led me into a government investigation. That investigation has tarnished a reputation I worked hard to build. With my life going into a tailspin, I started researching to look for help. I found the team at White Collar Advice, and later began working with the team at Compliance Mitigation. I found Justin Paperny and Michael Santos to be responsive and helpful in many ways. They helped me to craft a strategy to get back on track and to engineer a pathway would help me reconcile and make amends. I would have liked to have begun working with them earlier. Their guidance would have alerted me to potential problems that I had not previously considered. For this reason, I give the team at Compliance Mitigation five stars.

When I went to Michael Santos and his team, I was 25 years old and scared because I didn’t know how to navigate the next part of my life and the charges made against me by the US Government. Mr. Santos offered guidance and perspective to my life and it tremendously ease the pain I was going through as well as created clarity to walk forward into the next chapter of my life. The price I paid is minuscule compared to price of freedom & mitigation of the time I would have spent in prison. Thank you again and god bless.

I’m giving the team at Compliance Mitigation five stars. My attorney, Diane Bass, recommended that I contact Michael Santos when a government investigation brought complications that sent me into a tailspin. His team helped me to work toward a mitigation strategy that has been helpful and that I greatly appreciate. For that reason, I highly recommend Compliance Mitigation. The services cost more than I expected, but I found them trustworthy and responsive to helping me through challenging times. I’m convinced that others will find value in their service, as I did. Michael Santos and the team at Compliance Mitigation are the best at what they do.
