Re: Reduce Sentence

Mitigating a sentence is not as simple as just filing the right motion with a Court. Rather, the motion must contain detailed facts which show the Judge that the defendant's sentence should be mitigated, along with legal authority showing the legal basis for which the Judge can mitigate the sentence. Therefore, a motion to mitigate is a very case-specific pleading.

I would be happy to discuss the matter with you in greater detail. Please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
