It's the last podcast of the year, and what better way to end than with a presentation to the amazing group, White Collar Support ( www.prisonist.org) . I was grateful to have the opportunity to present to this community, a brainchild of attorney Jeff Grant. It's particularly fitting for a 2025 finale, as the hour is a recap of the effective sentencing strategies we've been discussing on this podcast, and deploying in our own cases.
