Legal ConsultantBeen convicted? Plead guilty? Not sure how to secure a lower sentence? NLPA has had success for years in doing all of the above! Contact us today to see how we can become your legal consultant.
Preliminary Legal Sentencing AssistanceThe first level (Preliminary Sentencing Assistance) involves NLPA working to keep you and your family advised as to what is happening in your case. NLPA will act as a liaison for you and your family on numerous aspects of preparing for your sentencing. As your attorney and legal consultant, we are busy researching, drafting, and preparing your case, NLPA can provide additional criminal sentencing consulting to enhance communication with attorneys in regard to significantly reducing the requested sentence. We will provide information covering all aspects of the sentencing stage including:
- Learning of and understanding the many downward departures for which you may qualify
- Preparing a strong defense
- Pre-sentencing release or bond checklists
- Understanding the Pre-Sentence Investigation Report (PSI) and the objections that may be available
- Alternative sentencing programs
- Character references
FULL SENTENCING ASSISTANCEFull Sentencing Assistance can be offered if your attorney is willing to receive NLPA's legal consultant service. We will explain to your counsel how NLPA's attorneys can assist the defense team as you prepare for sentencing. If your counsel agrees to include NLPA in the legal arm of your defense team, we can then also focus our assistance to the research and consulting that will directly impact your case. In additional to providing the Preliminary Sentencing Assistance to you, this service would also include:
- Drafting of objections to your PSI Report
- Detailed sentencing memorandum to address downward departures
- Alternative sentencing programs
New Case Activity Notifications Once contracted, your Case Manager will provide you with information concerning any new activity on your case as it develops. This will help aid in your understanding of current developments in your case to properly strategize for each specific instance. This is an excellent way to ensure that client's are aware of the situation and can assist in any way.
"Knowledge is Power" Institutional DesignationIf you have to serve time, make it close to friends and family! An additional service we can provide addresses a defendant's concern as to the facility chosen for their term of incarceration (Institutional Designation). For federal defendants who, after sentencing, will be housed in the Bureau of Prisons, it is important to understand that the BOP has facilities throughout the United States. As a federal inmate, there is no guarantee that any inmate will be housed in a facility in the same location as their case. For many federal defendants, after they are sentenced they are designated somewhere clear across the country and too far away for their families to visit as often as they would like. Whether a defendant is camp eligible, appropriate for a minimum security designation, or incorrectly burdened with a public safety factor, NLPA is experienced to examine these issues. For this service NLPA will review: - Custody classification
- Location of the defendant's family (for visitation)
- Other pertinent factors to select a facility designation
Request for Preferred Facility- Fist Choice Facility
- Secondary (back up) Choice Facility
We can prepare the written request prior to the sentencing of first choice (and in some cases a "back up" choice) facility as to where the defendant wishes to be designated. There are no guarantees when petitioning the legal system, but we can provide a strong case as to where the defendant should be designated for incarceration. Included in this service is information as to what to expect when transferring from a county jail residence to the State or Federal Prison System.
Regardless of the charges for which you have been convicted, NLPA’s team of knowledgeable staff is ready and able to assist!
