Why Work With Sam
Sam does not consult on state cases. His entire practice is federal prosecution. The federal system operates under different rules, different sentencing calculations, and different facility classifications than state court. That focus is what you need.
He works with CEOs, traders, and executives. These cases involve complex financial crimes and require different strategy than typical federal sentencing. He has also consulted on some of the most visible federal prosecutions in recent years.
Sam served time at FCI Miami. He has worked with over 1,000 federal defendants. That gives him firsthand knowledge of how the system actually operates, from sentencing through release.
CNN and NPR call him regularly for commentary on federal sentencing and clemency. That credibility comes from years of working inside the federal prison system. He is not just quoting policy. He has lived it.
Our fees reflect the complexity of your case and the level of guidance you need. We work with clients who understand that federal expertise is worth paying for.
