What We Do
We do what a lawyer and a private investigator cannot do. A lawyer is licensed and prohibited from certain actions and a private investigator has more restrictions than a lawyer does. However, Huffman's Services has our negotiators; and while we may hire lawyers or private investigators we are not restricted. Additionally, a lawyer charges and makes so much money that it is not worth his time, trouble, or effort to involve himself in this type of sentence reduction process.
If our clients have confidential information that they want us to broker, we will be happy to do so. It is not required that our clients provide us with any confidential information. In fact, very few of our clients do. They are incarcerated and while incarcerated there is a code of conduct that strictly prohibits cooperating with anybody. Accordingly, Huffman's Services will cooperate on their behalf. Even though our clients are not directly cooperating with the government, the credit for the cooperation will be used to reduce their sentence.
Taking Responsibility
Huffman's Services is the only company in the United States that specifically handles this type of negotiation. Accordingly, our clients should not wait until they are convicted and their appeals are exhausted and there are no other options, but to contact us. Quite the contrary, the time to contact us is immediately after they have been arrested, while there is still an opportunity to make adjustments on the charge, and negotiate a sentence reduction, long before the matter becomes more complicated and delayed by the court system.
Huffman's Services is happy to talk to any client's attorney or private investigator. However, once retained, Huffman's Services reserves the right to hire their own lawyer and private investigator to meet their obligation of a sentence reduction. It has been our experience that most lawyers do not wish to be involved in this type of negotiation. In fact, it has been our experience that because lawyers operate on massive profit margins, they will do anything to keep the money flowing to them, including advising their clients against our services.
Huffman's Services believes in taking personal responsibility for our actions. Our clients are people who are taking responsibility for their actions by utilizing their funds to make donations to charities, to help victims, to help victims' services, to arrange volunteers for organizations, and for doing something positive while providing confidential information through Huffman's Services.
Options For Sentence Reduction Process
We obtain sentence reductions through various process sometimes through the prosecutor's offices sometimes through the governor's offices sometimes through clemency pardon commutation and sometimes through the parole board depending on the circumstances and the willingness of the various authorities we will determine that during the course of the case. In every case we are working to solve an unsolved criminal case of a high profile nature to give back to society to obtain a sentence reduction.
What We Need From You
It is a part and parcel of the criminal justice system that taking personal responsibility and acceptance of responsibility in many cases reduces the sentence, both in the federal and state system. Huffman's Services works on the theory that if you are willing to take personal responsibility by using your funds to do good deeds and make positive changes, then the prosecutors, the law enforcement personnel, and the judge involved will recognize those actions.
Our owner, Richard Huffman, has accepted personal responsibility. Many of his examples of cooperating with authorities, he did on his own, using the theory of accepting personal responsibility and doing good deeds. He only asks that his clients become partners in this theory and understand that this service is all about accepting personal responsibility and changing the past by making positive changes in the future.
Huffman's Services' clients are expected to maintain their best behavior during the sentence reduction process; because prior to the judge making a final determination on how much of a sentence to reduce, they're going to look at your incarcerated conduct, both long-term and short-term. We do not want clients who merely wish to buy their way out of prison. That's not what we do. We want clients who want to use their funds to make good, positive changes in society; that is what Huffman's Services is all about.
The Process
Huffman's Services understands the process above and beyond the words that are written concerning federal and state law and it is that knowledge and experience of the actual process that allows us an opportunity to get relief for our clients. While it is true that there are restrictive federal and state laws that allow for cooperation with authorities and sentence reductions for them, in many cases, there are separate processes where benefits may be obtained utilizing a different process.
While it is true that the entire sentence reductions system is based on a number of approving authorities, such as the prosecutor, who must make a motion, the judge who must accept and process the motion, along with probation and other authorities. It is also true that at the end of the day, the criminal justice system operates on confidential information and irrespective of any specific policy in any particular area if successful cooperation is done.
Even without advance approval, and provided to the government in the form of successfully solving a high-profile criminal case in the Local District of conviction, or successfully finding a wanted high-profile fugitive that the government will review that information and fairness, honesty, decency, and fair play all come into play with the authorities.
The authorities are honest, decent individuals that are doing a very difficult job under very difficult circumstances and when an act of attrition, acceptance of responsibility, successful cooperation with law enforcement will be rewarded. In many cases the government will not enter into an advanced agreement and it is sometimes necessary and our clients understand this that Huffman's services will proceed with a sentence reduction through cooperation process on the theory that once the successful cooperation has been substantiated, verified and is into the court system that a reward will be applicable to the client. Huffman's Services reserves the right if we believe it is likely that we will be successful to proceed with a sentence reduction process under this Theory and without the advance consent of the government. Our clients all understand that we are the process of last resort and sometimes due to circumstances we will voluntarily without an agreement in place solve a high-profile criminal case or find a wanted fugitive in this regard.
State Third-Party Cooperation Requirements
Compared to the Federal court system the County elected district attorney with rare exception has unlimited Authority to authorize sentence reductions based on substantial assistance to authorities, cooperation with authorities whether directly or third-party. The process is much simpler as you're dealing with one elected district attorney. The requirements are on a case-by-case basis as the elected district attorney may decide.
Written Sentence Reduction Agreements
We do not a get written sentence reduction agreement. We do contact the prosectures office for sentence reduction policy. We do confirm a willingness on a sentence reduction.
