Federal sentencing mitigation & prison consulting services
Thoughtful preparation. A documented record. A plan for what comes next.
Joseph De Gregorio works alongside defense counsel to help federal defendants and their families prepare for sentencing, the presentence interview, prison, and reentry. The work begins with your circumstances, your deadlines, and the records that support your story.

01 / Sentencing mitigation
Build a clear, supported account of the person behind the case. SAG helps organize personal history, family responsibilities, employment, treatment, and documented rehabilitation into a record that defense counsel can evaluate.
The focus: relevant facts, reliable supporting records, and preparation coordinated with your attorney.
02 / Presentence interview & PSR preparation
Prepare for the presentence investigation interview with an organized timeline and supporting documentation. Identify gaps, assemble records, and prepare questions to review with counsel before the interview.
The focus: accuracy, completeness, and a clear account of your circumstances. Legal objections and filings remain with defense counsel.
03 / Personal narrative & sentencing preparation
Develop an honest personal narrative and organize character-support materials. Connect the facts of your history with specific, documented actions rather than broad promises or unsupported claims.
The focus: accountability, individual circumstances, and a coherent record for counsel’s review.
04 / Federal prison preparation
Prepare practical questions and a plan for the transition into custody. Work through family communication, personal responsibilities, and the information you need to discuss with counsel before surrender.
The focus: realistic preparation for you and your family. Facility placement and program participation cannot be promised.
05 / Release & reentry planning
Organize housing, employment, treatment, family-support, and other release-planning records. Prepare questions about your circumstances and the documentation needed for an individual review.
The focus: a practical, documented transition plan. Early release, home confinement, and a court-ordered sentence reduction are distinct outcomes; none is guaranteed.
