• Doctor Thought He’d Get 2 Years in Prison—The Judge Gave Him 4 After Hearing This…

  Victim Impact Matters More Than You Think at Sentencing A physician expected two years in federal prison—the mandatory minimum for aggravated identity theft. But he didn’t prepare. He didn’t consider how victim statements might influence the judge. At sentencing, those victims spoke about ruined credit, unpaid bills, and emotional distress. The judge gave him four years instead of two. Why? Because he assumed the outcome and ignored the emotional toll on his victims. If you're facing sentencing, put yourself in the victim’s shoes. Start there. Join our weekly webinar every Monday at 1PM Pacific / 4PM Eastern to prepare the right way.

• My Mother’s Day Experiences In Federal Prison Camp

  Prison Holidays Hurt Families More Than You Think My first Mother’s Day in federal prison hit harder than I expected. The visiting room was packed, the visit was cut short, and my mom was crushed. She wasn’t just visiting her son—she was facing the reality of prison with me. Around the room, I saw the same pain on the faces of other families: crying kids, anxious spouses, pure exhaustion. That day taught me something most people miss—prison is harder on the people who love you. If you’re going in, plan. Don’t waste time.

• Two Searches Changed Everything—This Doctor Avoided Federal Prison

  Self-Reporting in Healthcare Fraud: One Doctor’s Choice to Act Early When a physician noticed FBI activity on his LinkedIn profile, he didn’t wait. He called us. Within days, we helped him create a full disclosure statement, documented his wrongdoing, and outlined the actions he was taking to make it right—including repayment. That gave his lawyer the leverage to self-report directly to the DOJ. The result? Civil penalties, no criminal charges, and no prison time. He avoided the 6 a.m. raid because he acted first. If you’re worried the government’s looking into you, don’t wait. Prepare. Disclose. Resolve. Join our weekly webinar every Monday at 1PM Pacific / 4PM Eastern.

• Start Here In Federal Prison

  Start with Ownership: The Real First Step in Federal Prison The real work in federal prison begins when you stop blaming and start examining how you got there. That kind of introspection isn’t easy—but it’s necessary. Too many people avoid it and instead convince themselves someone will hand them a job later. Don’t wait for a favor. Build something worth earning. I could’ve worked for my brother’s company, but I chose to prove myself on my own. That mindset shift—owning your future, not outsourcing it—is what separates those who stay stuck from those who move forward. Join our weekly webinar every Monday at 1PM Pacific / 4PM Eastern.

• How To Use Your Time In Federal Prison—Or Waste It

  The early days in federal prison can feel paralyzing—especially when the weight of lost reputation, uncertain career prospects, and family expectations hits all at once. Many people get stuck, believing the label "felon" means there’s nothing left to fight for. That mindset kills momentum. The solution? Create a routine. Write daily—start with 10 minutes. Build a fitness habit you can sustain. Most importantly, separate what you can control from what you can’t. That’s how you stay productive, not just busy. Join our weekly webinar every Monday at 1PM Pacific / 4PM Eastern. We’ll show you how to build a plan that works.
