The First Step Act is legislation that President Trump signed into law.  Although this is a step in the right direction, it’s important to note that this law will only affect those who are in the Federal System of roughly 181,000 inmates, which makes up only a small percentage of our over 2.1 million total prison population.

There are many criminal defense attorneys out there, but very few of them are licensed to practice in federal court. It may be surprising to some that you need to be admitted to federal court and not all criminal defense attorneys are. In fact, very few, a small percentage of them are admitted to federal court and an even smaller percentage of them actually go to federal court on a regular basis.

Today I want to tell you about our exciting new, Attorneys On Retainer Program. By joining the program, you actually become a client of the law firm for just $25 a month. Yes, that’s right, you will become an actual client of the law firm. This means you will have our law firm standing by in the event you ever need any of our legal services.

We’ve all been there. You’re trying to get home safely, and another driver cuts you off. Or maybe you’re trying to get to work on time and a car is driving ten miles under the speed limit in the passing lane. Any of these situations can provoke anger in even the calmest of people. However, how you react to these actions can also impact your own safety behind the wheel. Do you retaliate aggressively? Or do you breathe deeply and let the situation pass.

Today, I’m committed to running my law firm, The Attorneys For Freedom Law Firm, by incorporating the best of what I learned in the Marine Corps. We operate on the highest level of trust, and we are never complacent.
