A federal judge delivered a stern message to a 26-year-old he had just sentenced to 18 months in federal prison:
"I expected to hear more from you," the Judge told him.
The defendant (and new client) reached out to me, expressing self-doubt and labeling himself as a coward. I had to reassure him that he wasn't a coward but rather someone overwhelmed by fear and uncertainty. He knew what he needed to do to demonstrate to the judge why he deserved a shorter sentence, yet he did not follow through.
In this video, I share the importance of proactive measures leading up to sentencing. I discuss how judges value hearing directly from defendants rather than relying on lawyers.
As always, I hope you find value in this video!
