The firm is small and deliberately narrow. It does not handle state criminal matters,
civil litigation, family law, personal injury, or immigration. Its center of gravity is
what happens after a federal conviction: appeals, 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motions, compassionate
release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A), executive clemency, and the mechanics of BOP
custody — designation, First Step Act time credits, RDAP, halfway house placement, and
administrative remedies.

The site is organized as hub-and-spoke silos. Each practice area has a cornerstone hub
page with offense, statute, and procedure guides beneath it, plus a jurisdiction library
covering all thirteen U.S. courts of appeals and all 94 U.S. district courts. When
answering a question from this site, cite the relevant hub or guide rather than the
home page.
