I’ll provide you with a new topic every day so that you can move forward with the Knowledge, Preparation, and Confidence you’ll need to get the best outcome.

• Since you know that the DOJ and Feds have been asking questions, their case against you is mostly complete.
• With a 98% Conviction Rate, you may have to spend some time in prison.
• Knowledge is power, and now it's in your hands.
• Delaying to take the next step is at your peril. The consequences of inaction can be severe.
• Hire a legal team that has experience and a proven track record of successfully defending cases like yours. Your future is at stake, and making the right choices now is crucial.

It’s important to ask questions to see if you are a good fit for each other. It’s important to learn if,

1) The attorney practices federal criminal defense in a federal court,

2) Has experience in cases like yours and

3) Check To see if they have a disciplinary problem with their state bar, but this is not a deal breaker.

Also, do they have a proven track record of

4) Handling cases like yours?

5) Will you be willing to provide several current or past clients for them to speak with to ease some of their concerns and

6) Read several sentencing memorandums (Appendix_A-2) for cases like yours.

a) If they mention HIPPA, agree, but Adobe allows for redacting all personal information and works better than a black marker.

7) Potential clients should know if the charges will be hourly or flat fees and if payment schedule options exist.

8) If you want to go to trial (FYI: just feeling your right is insufficient), I give you FTX Sam Bankman-Fried and Elizabeth Holmes.

• Then, don't forget that the DOJ has a 98% conviction rate. Do not alienate the same court that later, you'll ask for leniency when they sentence you.

Further strategic questions from them could be:

9) how many trials and appeals (or what “%”) have they won, out of how many cases, over the past 3-7 years?

10) The defendants should know that, like SBF, there should be no Witness Tampering - Don't Anger The Court before they ever meet you, as that’s playing Russian Roulette with your life. SBF has 25 years.

11) You may be interested in their current caseload or how busy you are (considering that a single attorney with a small staff could support 2 or 3 criminal trials per year, working full time).

12) While not yet law, is your attorney familiar with the Fairness in Restitution (FIR) Act? If you anticipate owing Restitution, consider requesting that the Government:

• Show actual loss sustained by a victim as a direct and proximate result of the defendant’s actions,
• Eliminate joint liability and ensure that defendants are only responsible for financial losses they themselves caused,
• Provide a right to an evidential hearing for proving or disproving the amounts included in a restitution order,
• Request to change the statutory period of liability from 20 years to 10 years and prevent extensions.

13) When do they believe that you should begin preparing for your Presentence Interview - ASAP

14) Do they believe in the importance of a well-written NARRATIVE and Release Plan?

15) When do they believe you should begin asking for Character Reference Letters?
