Why Consult
BOP rules and First Step Act credits change. Sam stays current on policy so you don't miss what applies to your sentence.
Your conviction is not like someone else's. Your early release pathway depends on your specific charges, sentence, and conduct history. Generic guidance misses your actual options.
Time matters. Credits and eligibility windows open and close. Waiting can cost you months of earned time.
Sam served federal time himself and worked with over 1,000 federal defendants. He knows what works in practice.
Your consultation is confidential. No government agencies. No reporting. We work for you only.
First Step Act Credits
The First Step Act allows eligible inmates to earn time credits. These credits reduce your sentence or allow transfer to home confinement. The key question is whether you qualify and how much you can earn.
Not everyone qualifies. Your conviction matters. Your sentence length matters. Your offense category matters. Sam analyzes all three to tell you what is actually possible for you.
