In November of 2013, teams of federal law enforcement officials stormed Holli Coulman’s home. She lived in one of the gated communities of Southern California and didn’t have any prior warning that the had become the target of a criminal investigation. In today’s Earning Freedom podcast, Holli helps our listeners understand what it is like to face federal criminal charges for the first time. For example, she learned the high cost of hiring a defense attorney. The entry point for hiring counsel was $50,000—and that was to plead guilty. If Holli would’ve gone to trial, her attorney told her to expect to pay significantly more.
Despite the amount she paid, Holli didn’t feel as if her attorney prepared her well for the challenges to come. She didn’t know anything about what would follow as the government’s investigation advanced. In time, she hired federal prison consultant Justin Paperny, of FederalPrisonAdvice.com. Through Holli’s work with Justin, she was able to develop a strategy that would help her prepare for the 21 month sentence she must serve. Holli is scheduled to surrender to federal prison in less than two months.

Lazaro went to prison as a teenager. A judge sentenced him to 18 consecutive life sentences. He served that time in maximum-security prisons in the state of Florida. While inside, Lazaro said that he adjusted in the way of the prison system. He didn’t find his way until after he had served many years in prison. Then, he found reason to reject the criminal life style and start preparing for success. Lazaro changed his mindset. Judicial relief finally came, enabling Lazaro to return to society as a law-abiding citizen.
Lazaro currently aspires to help other people who return to society from long prison stays. He wants to assist them in security employment. Lazaro now operates his own business, and I encourage those in our audience to check him out.

Charles David Jones is a former lawyer and financial advisor. Some bad decisions in his career led to problems. In today’s podcast, he told me that he diverted more than $8 million from his clients into accounts that he controlled. When the heat got too hot, he contacted a defense attorney. Knowing that he didn’t have many options, Charles said that he decided to turn himself in. First he met with a prosecutor from the United States Attorneys Office. Then he met with lawyers from the SEC. The wheels of justice can move slowly, as nearly two years past before Charles was able to resolve his judicial problems. His judge imposed a six-year sentence. Charles contacted Justin Paperny, of Federal Prison Advice, to seek guidance. He surrenders to prison soon.
