White Collar Advice Reviews 205

The team was very receptive, efficient, and communicated well. Attention was very personal and tailored to my case. Greatly complemented my legal team. I would especially like to single out outstanding work by Forrest, Patty, and Justin on my behalf. Their instant availability and kind understanding of my anxieties greatly relieved my stress of going through pre- and post- sentencing process! I recommend this team without reservations!

This company is the best by far in helping you get the info u need, into helping yor case. Highly recommend

Spoke with Alec who called as planned. He was knowledgeable and, importantly, genuinely understanding and empathetic. Found his advice sound as well as supportive. These guys are THE REAL DEAL!

Justin and his team have provided invaluable guidance and encouragement during the most difficult situations. The communication and responsiveness to your needs is exceptional! The information I have learned through their tools and books have provided me with the help I needed to navigate an entirely new process to be prepared for the future.

So far everything very promising and productive

Excellent communication and writing skills. Took the time to get the complete picture.

The outreach of support is nothing I have experienced before. Every employee takes the time out of their life to make sure you feel like you are the most important person. I have a crazy schedule and they work around everything. Would recommend to anyone.

White Collar Advice has created a unique space for those of us who have become involved with the Federal Criminal Justice System and the Department of Justice to find help, information and the most important, support and friendship. While I am not a client, I have been welcomed with open arms and met the most amazing group of people. I wish that this group had been here years ago. I was so frightened, overwhelmed and lonely. I had and still have the best lawyers on the East Coast. They were caring and did a great job. They knew the system because they were former Assistant US attorneys. They will never know what it was like to be me (I hope). The Skool group Justin created is nothing short of a miracle!

White Collar Advice offers prompt, specific, knowledgeable, advice on matters pertaining to being arrested, indicted for a crime. They offer expertise on how to handle a pre-sentencing interview, manage the prison experience, and how to create and present a release plan. All this is done with the goal of getting the felon back to their family as quickly as possible, back to being a productive member of society, and making society safer while reducing costs associated with incarceration.

As the wife of a white collar justice impacted person, I have spent a few years online trying to understand what was happening, the judicial system, and what will happen next. It's been so difficult to try and manage everything that's going on when the government took everything including my husband and I was in complete despair.
I found White Collar Advice right away in my online searches. I started watching the YouTube videos and found help understanding what was happening, help for my husband and myself, some much needed humor, and hope for the future. The website has so much information and so many resources I could always find what I was looking for.
The Skool community has been a life saver. I have found a truly supportive caring group of friends who understand every fear, anxiety, and emotion. The White Collar Advice team and members of the community who are in different stages of their journey are ready and willing to help. We love to cheer each other on through every success and failure.
Everything is covered in Skool, any and all questions are answered, there is an interactive webinar once a week where an important topic is covered and we can ask questions and get clarifications. There are classroom tabs with additional information, past webinars, and helpful resources.
It's really the best thing that's happened during this journey for both my husband and I. It's a great place for people going through the process, and their family and friends to find information and get the support that is so critical to surviving the system.

I first found White Collar Advice when I was trying to find out information about what in a fraud case in which I was going to plead guilty. I didn't spend a lot of time on the site at the time.
Soon after my charge became public, Scott Langely reached out to me personally. He was genuinely warm and was experienced in being in the situation in which I found myself.
The information provided by White Collar Advice to help me emphasize my mitigating factors I have no doubt helped me achieve a lighter sentence than what was recommended. Their expertise and knowledge of how to navigate the legal system is top-notch.
As I approach my surrender date, the information, suggestions, and knowledge of this group of people is something I will certainly be grateful to have.

This review is specifically for the Skool site that was introduced in late July 2023 to help all justice-impacted individuals share their experiences and help with advice and practical answers. It is a unique, no-cost tool that has already helped many navigate the overwhelming difficulties of the criminal justice experience. The impact this site has had, even in the short time since being introduced, cannot be over emphasized.

WhiteCollarAdvice helped me this year in relation to a complicated extradition matter from EU to US. I have very complicated medical conditions and i was trying to fight extradition on the grounds that if i enter the US prison system i will most likely die. I have oncological problems as well as blood coagulation condition and had few Pulmonary Embolisms. Scott and Carole showed amazing professionalism and Carole prepared for me truly great medical report/affidavit regarding the risks and lack of medical care in US prisons, which i presented to the local court in the extradition hearing. The report was very detailed, straight to the point and i believe it played a role in the rejection of the extradition. Also the fees they charged me was 2-3 times lower than other specialists i found in the same area of expertise. I trully recommend their services and last but not least they delivered the report on time and without any compromises. I definitely give them 5 stars

If you find yourself in the unenviable position of facing federal prosecution, Scott Laney and his team are an invaluable resource. From the first phone call Scott showed a genuine empathy and interest in my case. We set about on a course of action to try and get the best possible outcome for me, and we succeeded. I was facing the toughest judge in my district and mandatory minimum sentencing guidelines with an attorney whose efforts were lackluster at best. After reading the story of Michael Santos, I was inspired to fight my own fight. Scott and his team helped me put together the right information to effectively communicate to every stakeholder in my case.
Scott prepared me for my pre sentence investigation (PSR) when my attorney shrugged it off as not important - "just some questions". It felt good to go into that interview 100% prepared and I left that interview feeling confident that I had conveyed the right information.
From there Forrest helped me craft a letter to my judge. Again my attorney downplayed the importance of this but at sentencing my judge quoted several parts of my narrative back to me. Time in the courtroom is incredibly limited and having this judge know me better as a person in advance, through this narrative was a game changer.
I can not speak highly enough about my consultant Joseph De Gregorio. He was thoughtful, knowledgeable, reassuring and passionate. He helped me put my limited time to the best possible use and because of his guidance and suggestions I was allowed to self surrender and the judge actually remarked that she had never seen anyone as extraordinarly prepared as I was.
Thanks to White Collar Advice I got the absolute best outcome I could hope for in my case. Their passion for helping people and justice reform is genuine. Their methods are incredibly well researched and solid. If your facing federal prosecution my advice is don't solely rely on your attorney, use these amazing resources that Michael and Scott have put together and fight for yourself!

I utilized the free things: podcasts, youtube, website. It was extremely helpful. Great content.

I never imagined I would be facing federal indictment one day. However, through family tragedy and poor decisions afterward I am exactly in that unfortunate situation. When I was first arrested I felt hopeless and alone. The majority of friends and people I knew turned their backs on me. I was on YouTube searching for any kind of information or hope. I discovered Justin Paperny and began watching his videos. I started researching him and found that he had once been in my situation. I discovered his website and all the resources he provides justice impacted people. Once I joined his community I found many others that had gone through this. There were people at all stages of the process. All of them help one another with advice, knowledge, and support. This website has saved my life. I am prepared now for what is ahead of me. I have tools and knowledge to help make my outcome better. I have people I can talk to that understands what I’m going through. When my journey with the justice system is over I’m going to continue being a part of this community. The people here are wonderful people. They all have something positive to add to this world. Justin Paperny and Michael Santos have given us tools and resources to help ourselves. I am going to make sure I pay that forward. If I can share my experience and benefit one person then I will feel that I have honored the blessing that Justin Paperny and Michael Santos gave to me.

I came across White Collar Advice through watching YouTube videos from Michael Santos. He gained my trust through his authenticity and mission statements provided in those videos. I knew I needed help in mitigating my legal circumstances more than my lawyer could provide so I reached out to Scott Laney and he replied almost immediately.
I worked with the WCA team in producing my personal story which has become an invaluable document added to my PSR. I am still free on pretrial release due to the ongoing work ethic that I learned from Michael Santos and Justin Paperny in preparing for the journey ahead. I recommend White Collar Advice to anyone preparing for sentencing. I guarantee they will be instrumental in guiding you along the path to a better outcome. There is so much free and interactive content one can participate in. I encourage all justice impacted people to please sign up for the Earning Freedom skool community as well. Everyday people are helping and supporting one another here. The message is please do not rely totally on your lawyer to do the work. Remember, this is your problem and they will never work as hard as you will.
Do the research and understand what you can do to have a better outcome. When it comes down to it, your the one who can really move the needle. Take action and contact White Collar Advice. Find out what you can do about your legal circumstances and how to better put them into perspective. It won’t cost you anything but your time to prepare for success and have a better outcome. You can also decide to hire their teem.
They are not lawyers but I can say they are definitely mitigation experts who understand every aspect of our horrific justice system.
Good luck!

I ran across White Collar Advice and Justin Paperny/Michael Santos for a problem I was dealing with regarding the government. The website and associated videos were incredibly helpful, and provided immense value at no cost. I was able to read through and watch their information ( including associated websites) for several months, taking notes and following their guidance. Their recommendations about internalizing what you have learned from any mistakes, accepting responsibility, feeling and showing genuine remorse and having a plan moving forward were invaluable. I had a great Pre-Sentence interview ( based on a number of their articles/videos online) and was able to put together a personal narrative and proper character letters using their information. On the scale of things, my issue was "smaller" than some ( but a big deal to me!). If it were not for an immense personal issue, that believe it or not was far more significant than a government investigation, I definitely would have hired them for help along the way. Scott Laney, my contact, was extremely considerate, informative and definitely recommended. In the end, I received about 1/2 the sentence the government wanted, and was even complemented by the Judge for my taking responsibility, showing regret in my actions as well as words, and having a game plan moving forward.....Thank you Scott/Justin/Michael and White Collar Advice!

The team at WC have a wealth of information that is very valuable to all justice impacted people. They were able to help me come up with mitigating strategies that have positively impacted my outcomes.

I felt utterly adrift until I discovered the invaluable guidance provided by White Collar Advice, Prison Professors, and the Earning Freedom Community.
