Eligibility Evaluation Clarification
Eligibility evaluation evaluates the particular federal or state options to reduce the sentence from a formal sentence reduction, commutation, clemency, pardon, parole, probation, consecutive sentencing to concurrent jail time credit, early release. We also review the history of the case, the client, both the legal and the media, medical, mental health, Etc. A sentence reduction is not just going back before the judge. There are other options.

|
Sentence Reductions Nationwide
Huffman's Services using the existing laws that are available in every state and the federal government: concerning cooperation with authorities, substantial assistance to authorities and counting on the common decency to provide relief when successful cooperation is provided to the criminal justice system in general, using those laws to obtain third-party type benefits to our incarcerated clients such as sentence reductions, consecutive to concurrent sentencing, etcetera. This process requires the consent of the prosecutor at some juncture in the process and an average time of 12 months to actually do some type of cooperation that would resolve to find a wanted fugitive, solve a criminal case, at that juncture upon motion of the government the defendant would be returned to court, appointed a lawyer, have another probation report and go back before the judge for a sentence reduction hearing. There would also be an opportunity with the new lawyer to argue for a further sentence reduction based on other circumstances unrelated to the cooperation. To minimize your expenses we will work with court-appointed type lawyers. Good conduct, payment of restitution, taking drug alcohol sex violence programs and voluntarily taken educational vocational religious courses and learning certificates diploma's and awards and other positive accomplishments are necessary for a substantial sentence reduction to show that the individual is a changed and more productive person. We will also need to show they are not a burden on society by obtaining legitimate offers of employment and a residence when released. This entire process takes an average of 18 months.

Definition of Sentence Reduction
The definition of a sentence reduction is running a sentence consecutively to concurrently, parole, probation, supervised release, good time, executive clemency, commutation pardon, dismissal of a detainer, etc. Some states have a law that allows for specific type of sentence reduction where you go back before the judge to receive an actual reduction in the sentence others do not have this option and those States we work on executive clemency; parole, probation, supervised release, getting additional jail time, getting a detainer to be dismissed and we will never know exactly the specifics of how we will obtain a sentence reduction until we have done the "eligibility evaluation". During the eligibility evaluation, we will do all the research on the case, obtain the internal prison records and ascertain the exact process to obtain some type of sentence reduction.

Internal Prison Assistance
Huffman's Services is proud to announce additional inmate services. Due to the inherent unfairness of the disciplinary, classification, medical and grievance process for federal, state and County prisoner's we are offering assistance with all of these internal prison problems.
We will assist the incarcerated citizens with research, the filing of documents, the internal appeal process at every level from the facility, regional office, central office or either the Bureau of Prisons, Department of Correctional Services or the county jail facility until all of the internal prison remedies are exhausted. We will act as an extension of your efforts working closely with you and following your instructions exactly as the pro se litigant for all of these different Services. We are not offering Legal Services but to assist you and your own Pro Se litigant decisions and to act as an extension of those decisions. It has been our experience based on 34 years of experience with the criminal justice and prison system that most issues can be resolved if proper communication and be established with the proper authorities in the chain of command. This is especially true with the prison system due to incarceration and the problematic nature of communication.
Medical issues sometimes can be resolved by filing a licensed complaint against the doctor. Classification decisions may be able to be resolved by providing the proper documentation. Disciplinary issues may also be resolved by being able to contact the proper authorities at a higher level which an inmate sometimes cannot do in a timely fashion. Exhaustion of administrative remedies through the grievance process is a requirement to be able to get into federal state and County Court and the prison system has designed through abuse of the exhaustion of administrative remedy process certain procedures to delay, deny and confound the inmate litigant. All of these matters deal with the human condition of being incarcerated and the fact everything from the security level, housing and educational, religious, social, programming, and medical rights and privileges.
We are offering the services for the entire process until the internal prison remedies have been exhausted. At that juncture, we could assist you with a separate agreement to begin the process of litigation in court. These services and expenses there and only cover expenses we are not making any profit but are assisting are incarcerated clients in the interest of Justice. However, it must be clearly understood we are not offering legal assistance we are offering research and communication assistance as an extension of the inmates pro se litigant.

Attorney Recommendations/ Referral
The most important aspect of dealing with the criminal justice system is having the right lawyer and the biggest mistake that family members made is randomly choosing a lawyer who may be a friend of the family or somebody they heard up which is completely the wrong way to choose a lawyer. A lawyer has to be selected based on his expertise and the lawyer that does not practice 85% of legal work in a particular area is not an expert. Huffman's services can find you the right lawyer in your area at the price you can afford selected to your particular legal problem. We will research, analyze and confirm with the state and County Bar Association that this lawyer is a board-certified lawyer in the type of work you need to be done. This decision is probably the most important decision that a family member will make when trying to help a family member as resources are limited, time is critical and there is a big difference between a lawyer that will represent your loved one and one that will defend him and fight.

Sentence Reduction Process
Sentence reduction in some states is a step by step process. For example in the state of Texas sentence reductions require the consent of the prosecutor, and then the parole board has to agree to the terms and finally, the governor's office.
|
|

Attorney's Assistance

The Process
Huffman services will make initial contact with the prosecutor's offices to inquire if they are willing to consider a sentence reduction and since we are not lawyers depending on the circumstances we will then turn the matter over to a lawyer to further develop the particulars of that sentence reduction process either using an existing lawyer that represented the defendant getting the court to appoint a lawyer or finding a lawyer that will assist the defendant in a particular negotiation concerning all of the details of that sentence reduction and we will concentrate on solving a high-profile criminal case using a licensed private investigator to meet the requirements of the cooperation laws nationwide.

2021 Private Investigations Policy Changes
Effective January 1, 2021, we will no longer be issuing a monthly report every month from our private investigators to our client. We will be issuing a report every other month. In the interim month when we do not have a report, we will research the work they did that month, coordinate with law enforcement, perhaps put out a reward for some online information requests and any other matter that we may be able to attend to during those 30 days in between reports from our private investigators.
That will allow them more time to work before they have to stop working and issue us a report, and it also allows us to better monitor their progress and do additional work that would move to solve a high profile homicide case in the local district of conviction to satisfy the prosecutor for purposes of obtaining consideration of a sentence reduction.
Please remember sentence reductions are at the consideration of the prosecutor, totally at their discretion they may be willing to consider a sentence reduction, but it requires successful solving of that homicide along with the client staying out of trouble while incarcerated, disciplinary free, taking all the required courses, restitution payments, and compliance with our policies it does not affect the payment structure of the monthly private investigator.
|
|
|
Prosecutor Cooperation Verification
We will verify with the prosecutor's office if they are willing to consider a sentence reduction through the following options: phone call, letter, email, personal visit, and review of the online cooperation policies of that prosecutor's office. If we decide that it is in the best interest of our client to proceed with an attempt to solve an unsolved criminal case to obtain a sentence reduction, we will do so in rare cases without direct consultation because we believe that if we can solve a murder case, homicide case, or a high-profile case in the local district of conviction, we can overcome any final objections from the government by solving a high-profile unsolved homicide case in the local district of conviction.

Kansas Clients
We are no longer accepting any clients in the state of Kansas, other than pro se.
|
|
|
"We are merely an extension of the inmate-defendants own pro se efforts"
|
| We are not lawyers or private investigators but we will retain one if we deem appropriate. |
| Sentence reductions are at the discretion of the prosecutor as to manner and method. |
| This is the process of last resort. This is an opportunity to give back to the community by solving an unsolved criminal case in the local District of conviction which opens opportunities for potential sentence reductions parole probation and other type of relief. You should first exhaust all of your normal legal options. There's no guarantee of success. |
| We do not contact the prosecutor's offices until the case is solved. We will use the work of the private investigator during the investigation with the commutation of the remainder of the sentence process. |
2024 Success
"In 2024, We successfully reduced a Florida Prisoners sentence of life to released on Parole."
