Justin Danilewitz

Chambers-ranked white-collar defense attorney · Chair, White Collar and Government Enforcement Practice, Saul Ewing LLP

I had the pleasure of using Joe's prison consulting services for a client in one of my cases. Specifically, Joe advised the client on putting together a really impactful statement to add to his Presentence Investigation Report. I thought the exercise was extremely useful, and appreciate Joe's full court press approach. Joe's tenacity and genuine interest in helping clients get the best result is palpable. I'd gladly team up with Joe again, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to other counsel and their clients.

Philanthropist · Independent Philanthropy Professional

Joseph exhibited top notch professionalism, accessibility, and urgency in dealing with a recent matter I contracted him to resolve regarding a Federal Bureau of Prisons halfway house date and release plan. With respect to the halfway house date and custody transfer, Joseph worked with great passion every day until the matter was successfully resolved. He was able to leverage his deep knowledge of the federal carceral system, as well as legislative contacts in order to bring about a successful and timely resolution. He maintained a communication log and checked in several times a day with full transparency and accountability as to what had been done and what next steps would be taken.

Joseph also prepared an extensive release plan. This process involved sifting through many pages of documents that were provided to him, and gleaning and framing from those documents what would be noteworthy and would distinguish the individual from others. This document was provided in both complete form (over 60 pages) and as an executive summary (25 pages). Both documents have proven very valuable to present to the halfway house case manager and director, and will be of value to present eventually to the probation officer.

Joseph also took the initiative to prepare a personal website for the individual noting his accomplishments. I am deeply impressed by the extent to which he went above and beyond and worked tirelessly on this case. His motivation comes from personal passion and it shows. He is not merely a technician who is able to navigate with insight and knowledge. He is a true advocate who fights hard on behalf of those who are facing adverse circumstances and he uses his knowledge, tenacity, and vision to the utmost effectiveness. I highly recommend him and am grateful for his compassion and personal concern for those he helps.

We recently recommended Joseph De Gregorio, CEO of JN Advisor, to two clients, in different cases, who needed assistance with some complicated BOP-related issues that were time sensitive. There’s no license required to call yourself a “prison consultant” and the landscape is therefore littered with people who believe that some experience with the BOP, either as a former inmate or administrator, is a sufficient qualification to provide effective consulting services. It’s not. A good consultant not only needs to know the BOP’s convoluted system inside and out but also must be smart, tenacious and able to deal patiently and considerately with all sorts of BOP employees who are not required to interface with consultants. In each case Joseph delivered far above our expectations. As part of his service he provided us a detailed log of everything he did to accomplish his magic – enumerable pages in each case. He fashioned a strategic plan to obtain early release for our second client that was truly inspired – detailed and credible, and he coached the client on how to effectively communicate with his case manager. At all times he stayed in touch with the client and the family and was responsive to their needs. This second client surrendered in May of this year and he is being released shortly after serving just over four months of his 20-month sentence. We look forward to continuing our work with Joseph and recommend him without reservation.

This historical recommendation uses Joseph’s former company name. The quoted release milestone describes one individual’s experience, not a court-ordered reduction or a typical outcome.

Since working with Joe, I've been blown away by his knowledge and skill set regarding the justice system. He is incredibly mission-driven and dedicated to his craft and, most importantly, is a kind and thoughtful person. If you're a white collar defendant, there is no better person to help you get results in reducing your sentence and preparing for reentry than Joe. Don't just take my word for it, look at all of his reviews
