Offender Advocacy Communication
Based on your strategy, your legal team may suggest an active communication approach while awaiting sentencing, incarcerated, or released. Whether this method aligns with your needs depends entirely on your attorney’s guidance.
What you say is imperative. You should only communicate after your attorney approves the content. If you offer a statement to a judge before sentencing or answer questions in front of a parole board, you must conduct yourself appropriately.
Although a specific outcome may be inevitable, your communication practices could produce a more favorable result. In situations where mitigation is unlikely, it is crucial to maintain your position without worsening your circumstances. For instance, a statement to a judge might not reduce your penalty, but it could inadvertently increase it.
We are not legal professionals, nor do we offer legal advice. Campaign Crafters is a public relations and strategic communications agency. Our services complement—not replace—your attorney’s legal strategy. We will only collaborate with you after obtaining explicit approval from your legal counsel. With so much at stake, every action must align with your attorney’s plan to safeguard your case.
