Common Mistakes That Lead to Longer Federal Prison Sentences
Many people continue to make bad decisions after they become the target of a federal investigation.
I’m excited to introduce my friend, Andrew Bernstein, a Fox Rothschild partner specializing in white-collar criminal defense and government investigations. Andrew has a unique background, having started as a New York City public defender dealing with serious crimes, which laid the foundation for his expertise in trial law. His journey through various law firms has culminated in his current role, where he focuses exclusively on white-collar defense.
Andrew and I discuss proffers. A proffer, often called a "queen for a day," is a meeting with the government where the individual can share their side of the story. This meeting is protected by a "proffer agreement", which ensures that the statements made cannot be used directly against the individual. The information, however, provided can lead to further investigation by the government. The proffer is an opportunity to mitigate the charges or explore cooperation.
A proffer can fail in numerous ways, particularly if the individual lies or misleads. Misrepresentations, even by omission, are treated as seriously as outright lies. The government often knows a significant amount of information beforehand and uses the proffer to gauge the individual's credibility. Therefore, honesty is paramount. If honesty is not the priority, that person should not proffer!
To effectively defend a client, a lawyer needs complete honesty from the outset. This open communication allows the lawyer to provide the best possible advice and avoid any missteps that could inadvertently harm the case. Building a trusting relationship with the client is essential for achieving this level of openness.
Starting preparation early is crucial. When a client is aware of an investigation, efforts should begin to prepare for all eventualities, including a potential trial, guilty plea and sentencing. Engaging with probation officers, preparing for pre-sentencing interviews, and continuous mitigation efforts are all critical components of this preparation.
In summary, navigating a government investigation requires immediate and strategic action. Engaging with experienced professionals like Andrew can provide invaluable guidance.
I am thankful that joined our show and is in our community. I encourage defendants in New York to reach out to him with questions.

    Your client is going to a minimum security Federal Prison which isn't so bad. So why are you complaining? She did the crime and she should spend a few months. In the case of the prosecutor, they should also spend time in minimum security Federal Prison. That's fair. THe prosecutor is also going to lose their BAR license and they won't be able to practice the law for the rest of their life.

    You can't argue there is a "two-tier" legal system by comparing two completely different crimes: theft vs. perjury. And more importantly, if there are "tiers" of justice, you haven't really provided a plausible basis for the "tiers" ... is it wealth (the usual suspect)? Is it race,? (probably not since the prosecutor was black). There are also differences in judges themselves, and a wide random latitude in judicial discretion. More like a multi-tiered system on the basis of personality.

    Let’s not be distracted from the fact that his client only spent four months in jail and got to keep 90k of the 125k she stole. While if one of us peasants stole 500 to 1500 from anywhere we would be fined 4k and spend up to a year in jail. We are the ones that are treated unfairly!!

    Two tiered is right. If a normal citizen would have kept and shared classified documents in their home and bragged about it they would have been sent to prison right away and then would have had to stay in prison through their open and shut trial, then be in prison for years afterward, but 45 certainly didn't get that.

    Don’t be too hard on yourself. It made me recall how I got back into taking courses at the community college after being fired many years ago. Fired? Laid off? What’s the difference? You out of work! Anyway, I told my dad I was enjoying the courses and went on and on but as I looked at his face I realized the courses were a transition and not to get so enamored with the college courses I did not keep moving on!

    @nicolemccoy3436 Před dnem

    None of you have a leg to stand on when it comes to a "two tiered justice system". This country has been railroading black people for centuries. Enslaving them and when slavery was allegedly "abolished", the country left a loophole to keep black people enslaved when convicted of a crime; thereby creating crimes to then lock up black people. So, it's been a two tiered justice system forever to the detriment of black people. You're just angry that a black person was given the leniency that most white people are afforded.
