Year End Review (White Collar Support Presentation)

It’s the last podcast of the year, and what better way to end than with a presentation to the amazing group, White Collar Support (www.prisonist.org). I was grateful to have the opportunity to present to this community, a brainchild of attorney Jeff Grant.

It’s particularly fitting for a 2025 finale, as the hour is a recap of the effective sentencing strategies we’ve been discussing on this podcast, and deploying in our own cases.
