White Collar Advice Reviews 

The content provided by this group is unreal. Extremely helpful and insightful. So grateful for all they do!

I served 10 months in the Camp and 7 months on Home Confinement following advice from webinars out of my 24 month sentence. I started late listening to the advice and I only wish I did it earlier. It would have made my passage easier, and possibly quicker. Your lawyers are expert in pretrial matters, but by generally speaking they are not familiar with in and outs of system thereafter. There are many "advisors" out there, but I found Justin and his group most legitimate and accurate. Good luck and Godspeed.

I highly recommend Justin Paperny's White Collar Advice for those in need of his services and especially for those who may not recognize they are in need of such expertise. My wife ran afoul of the law and faced a potential 20-year federal sentence. She had an excellent attorney but I soon discovered that was not enough. I was desperate for assistance. Scouring the internet late one night I came upon WCA. I emailed in the wee hours to set up an appointment. Justin called the next morning for an extended conversation to assess our situation and to lay out a logical mitigation strategy. I was quite impressed with his knowledge and his positive demeanor.

My wife had already submitted her PSR but it was incomplete in several key respects. With WCA's guidance she was able to revise her PSR (that almost never happens) with critical information. Their assistance resulted in a substantially reduced sentence. Our attorney was opposed but relented due to our insistence. It is amazing how many attorneys are unfamiliar with WCA. It is your duty as a client to make your attorney is aware. Do your homework. Seek and ye shall find. Your future is at stake.

WCA has recently had some internal and staff changes. This led to some confusion and a sudden failure to communicate with us directly. It resulted in an unfortunate but brief delay to my wife's forward progress through the system. Remember that every additional day in federal custody is a day lost and an extra day of frustration and hardship for a felon's family. Santos was belligerent and downright rude to me in addressing my concerns but Justin reached out and we discussed it. He cares.

All in all I have been very pleased with White Collar Advice and especially Justin Paperny's wise counsel and steady hand. My wife and I could not have made the progress to date without their diligent efforts. WCA listens, they inquire and they deliver beneficial results.

I can’t thank them enough!!!! Wish I had found them earlier and prepared myself rather than going into that courtroom with high profile, expensive lawyers who had on going trial concurrently and needed to be excused multiple time during my sentencing.
Hearing “72 months “ is all I can remember and feeling that 6 years of my life just evaporated in front of my eyes.
Although I take full responsibility for everything happening to me but how could this happen??? I can tell you now by not hiring these people earlier,That’s how it can happen .
I went in to my probation interview being told that it doesn’t matter what probation officer recommends. I didn’t know about RDAP program and didn’t think my drinking could be a factor among so many other things.
Unknown is scary and Going through this path now as to any other paths in life, our best source of information are those who have been through it and are willing to share their step by step map and give you first hand information. That is truly a blessing.
Hearing their stories and seeing them coming out better and stronger gives you hope and the inspiration you need to go through this journey not alone and make it into a positive life lesson.
We expect miracles from God, but in today’s world, God doesn’t magically creates a bridge over the river for you, but he/she will put the right people in your way to show you where that bridge is and having gone through it, how to hold the rails not to fall down.
Knowing this group of people for me was nothing short of a miracle and as I told Sam, hopefully I can pay it forward.
Needless to say, I now have the best appeal lawyer fighting my sentencing, and got the judge making RDAP recommendation.
I’m addicted to their weekly webinars and the amount of information I get makes me really looking forward to this chapter of my life and as they all say to you when you find them “ There’s light at the end of the tunnel”
Thank you Sam, Michael, Justin, Larry, Scot,Carol and the whole team.

I never thought I’d be tangled up in a federal case of any kind. It is a horrible experience anyway you slice it. But Justin and his team held my hand for several years as I worked for a better outcome. There are so many moving parts with each case and if I never met Justin I can’t even imagine where I’d be at the moment. Be prepared to do the necessary work needed to turn the page and start over. You should not do it alone. Thank you Justin and the White Collar Advice team!!!!

Government was asking for 57-71 months, I was sentenced to 15.

5-stars, because I couldn't go higher.

They are so much more than "prison consultants". They are more like disaster specialists, therapists, life-coaches, and friends all mixed together. Working with their team, I produced real, life-changing results during some of the most stressful times in my life.

I couldn't believe that I was involved in the criminal justice system, and I felt like my life was over. Overwhelmed, depressed, angry, and stressed to the max; I was lost. Following their advice, I created a PLAN and took ACTION. Both to earn the shortest sentence possible as well as plan for a successful, meaningful life after prison.

Without their support and guidance, my 15-month sentence doesn't happen and neither does my optimistic outlook for the second half of my life.

I am forever grateful.

White Collar Advice team is a beacon of light in a dark and difficult storm you face when you become justice impacted.
I had a pleasure of working with Sam directly. He is highly knowledgeable and truly cares about each person he interacts with. Everyone in the group steps in to help when needed. They are a great team.

Sam Mangel has been life saver helping me manage the stress and anxiety of handling all that goes into become a white color convict.
He is there when you need him. He sheds light and educates you on the unfamiliar and scary world of sentencing, incarceration, and probation. The peace of mind he brings back to your life is priceless.

I was LOST, but now I'm found!!! I didn't know my designation nor my J & C when I met this team. I was scared, mad, frustrated and lost. Sam and Larry changed my life. I constatnly tell folks I met them 8 months too late. My PSR didn't accurate reflect my situation, experiences, nor my short comings. Through the gudiance and help of this team, I have a good chance of being located 2 1/2 hours from my family versus 7 hours. Additionally, Sam and Larry guided my attorney with drafted orders (Larry) and RDAP information and conference calls (Sam) to assist me with my illness and possible treatment, and presenting to the courts on my behalf. I've learned how to advocate for myself and become productive while incarcerated. Most importantly, my wife feels better about our situation as she listens to the zoom calls with me. Justin, Sam, Larry, Scott and the other team members are now our family. Michael Santos is a genius, and I want to be like him when I grow up.

I've received so much "advice" from so many different "professionals." Until working with Sam Mangel at White Collar Advice, I was getting nowhere. Today I got solid advice and a clear path forward on what exactly I need to do to achieve my goals. Knowledge is liberating. Thanks, Sam!

This is the BEST HELP I had. By working with them, I had a team of experts who have gone through what I was about to go through on my side. They are very responsive to all my calls, emails, and text 24/7. Every time I had a question that scared me, I reached out to them and they would give me an honest answer and not only that, they will go above and beyond to get me prepared. My words will never be enough how great they are and how much I appreciate the whole team. My sincere suggestion to you is that wherever you are in your journey, just reach out to this team. Justin, Michael, Sam, Larry are the people that helped me and you will never regret. I regret not reaching out to them sooner.

Thank you Justin Paperny, Sam, Larry, Brad, Michael Santos & Carole and the whole white collar advice team.

As a defendant facing 41-51 months.
I had my sentencing yesterday. The Judge gave me a year and a day sentence. My judge even stated my narrative at sentencing and also spoke of the charity work I did with Prison Professors as well as me working two jobs leading up to sentencing. Justin emphasized to work as much as you can. I am elated and grateful that I called Justin at white collar advice.

If I just went through my journey with my lawyer alone I feel whole heartedly that I would have received a guideline sentence. I’m not knocking my attorney at all in fact he did a great job.
I called Justin the same day I received a phone call from the government. Justin told me that I had to put in a lot of work from start to finish. I did just that !
When you hire White collar advice they provide you with a blueprint and all the tools tactics and resources for you to get the best possible outcome for yourself. You have to put in the work, after all it is your freedom.
They were always there to take my calls and Give me the best advice. If I didn’t hire white collar advice and just hired a lawyer I would have been lost and my sentence would have been a lot longer. White collar advice are absolute EXPERTS at what they do. The other prison consultants out there CANNOT hold a candle to White Collar Advice.

I encourage everyone out there facing legal challenges whether you are early in your investigation or you have got sentenced pick up your phone immediately and call Justin at white collar advice. It will be the absolute best decision you can make for you and your family.

Thank you kindly, Justin, Michael, Sam, Brad, Larry and the whole team. I’m eternally grateful for all of your guidance, assistance and support.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart

Awesome awesome awesome.
If it wasn’t for you guys I would be sitting in a federal prison cell.
Thank you Justin and the whole team for all you did for me.

Sam has been my point of contact since day one, I enlisted his services after receiving a federal prison sentence and finding out I was going to a higher security facility that I belong in. My attorney at the time was absolutely clueless on what to do and completely dropped the ball… after having my consultation with Sam I knew these folks were the ones for the job and they sure were. Within 24 hours of receiving my retainer they had the necessary paperwork drafted up and got the ball rolling. Within 2 weeks of having them “on payroll” they provided results and I’m going to a low security facility instead of a much more violent and volatile place, I HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone who has legal issues at the federal level!

Going to Federal Prison is not on anyone's bucket list. It is terrifying and the level of bureaucracy is astronomical. These folks take you by the hand, give you a reassurance, and then make you ready to take on the challenge. Their goal is to get you through this with your dignity intact, with a future that is promising. They give honest and frank information. I will be entering my sentence with a clear understanding of what will come. The biggest mistake I made was not contacting these folks in the millisecond that I received the target letter. The DOJ has a 97% conviction rate. Give yourself a chance.

Call them! Hire them! They can help you! I feel incredibly blessed that I found Sam Mangel of White Collar Advice. I was completely lost, confused and felt helpless regarding what to expect after I was found guilty at trial. There was so much to do, so much I didn’t understand and with the pending sentancing hearing coming up, I only felt more paralyzed. I started utilizing all of the helpful free resources and videos on their sites and I knew they could help me. So I hired them and they did exactly that. Sam introduced me to Lawrence and the work began. They defined terms, laid out a solid plan and took me through some very challenging months up to my sentencing hearing. They prepared me for my Pre Sentancing Report, my narrative, helped navigate my character references and took charge of my allocution I would be saying to the judge. They even mapped out the best female prison camp and low security prison for me depending on what my sentence outcome would be. They also helped navigate my lawyers direction for my sentancing hearing. Before meeting Sam and Lawrence I felt so alone. So hopeless. Now I have all the confidence in the world that I have prepared and done all I can do for the best possible outcome. My only regret is that I didn’t call them the second my legal problems began. If you are in the process of being charged, have already been charged, are awaiting a plea deal, trial, or the sentancing hearing is pending, do yourself a huge favor and call White Collar Advice. They have been there, they know what to do and they are the best of the best!! I’m so thankful I was able to make the right decision in hiring them after so many wrong decisions in my past.

Sam Mangel & his team are the cream of the crop. Lifesavers. Do not hesitate to use them - they made a material difference in my life, my outcome and sentencing.

I want to thank Sam for being there for me every time I called, just like he said he would. From Day One, I could call him anytime and get an answer my family and I needed. Besides his knowledge, there were times when I was down, and I just needed to hear that I would get through this, and of course, Sam was the one that could bring me back up.

Lawrence wrote my Narrative, and before we went into Court, my attorney said, "I wanted to let you know that the Narrative you wrote was the best one I've ever seen." So, again a confidence builder that White Collar Advice gave me.

Not only did I hire Sam and his team to do my Narrative and prep me for one of the most challenging things I've ever had to go through, but I used all of the free services from Justin and Micheal's videos to the classes they give us free access. I can't say enough there wasn't a meeting or a time throughout this process where I thought I wasn't prepared. Everything happened just like I was told it would, but I did the work and took the time to learn everything I could.

I could have gotten 99-111 months, but in the end, and I must say because of Prison Professors and White Collar Advice, as well as Sam, Mangel, Lawrence Hartman, Justin Paperny, and Michael Santos, my sentence is 41 months in Duluth which is a Stand alone Federal Prison Camp that I was able to pick because of the advice Sam gave me. Sam tells me I'll be out in 12 months, so a week from tomorrow, I'm turning myself in, and I will do a daily blog and document my entire journey for all to see.

Best money spent hiring White Collar Advice as a huge part of my team.

Sam Mangel, Mike Berlon, and Larry Hartman have been FABULOUS since I hired
this Team. I have had extensive conversations with Sam and Mike and their accessibility, honesty and credibility have been massive benefits for myself and my wife (Sam and Mike have offered their wives as resources for my wife multiple times and she is very thankful for it!!)

I wasn't sure what to expect when I hired "Federal Prison Counsel" to assist me with my scary and very serious charges. I worked with Sam and Larry and they are incredible. Always available to answer my questions. I believe what made an impact on my case was the incredible Character Letters they wrote after interviewing my family, friends and others who supported me. They got to know my story and wrote a Mini Autobiography that I also gave to the Judge. Sam was my go to guy. Didn't matter what time I called, he answered. Larry is the one who wrote everything. Larry's is amazing. Sam schooled me on the do's and don'ts of what to say and not say during my Presentence Report with Probation before sentencing. This is very very important.
I believe in my heart that without their help and knowledge of the Federal system I wouldn't have received the sentence I received. Me changing my life was a great added bonus to my recent sentence too. I was looking at 10+ years in prison. I got sentenced on May 31st, 2022. I got 4 years probation with a $300 fine. I want to thank Sam, Larry and everyone on my team who helped for the last 14 months with my case. I have my Freedom and I get to continue to continuously improve my life and succeed.
I can't "THANK YOU" all enough. I will be your biggest advocate for anyone who is fighting a Federal case and needs added help that the lawyers don't provide. I recommend hiring this group of men along with having an attorney.
You guys are the best❤️💕❣️
