INTAKE
We send you our initial intake forms for you to fill out, so we can have as much information about YOUR situation and present your petition in the BEST possible light.
EDITTING & POLISHING
We take your raw draft of your narrative and edit it, paying close attention to spelling, grammar, punctuation, and the flow of the narrative. We also make sure it is compelling, interesting, and strikes to the hearts, minds, and souls of the readers (the Prisoner Review Board and Governor).
DOCUMENT RETRIEVAL
ASSIST WITH LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION
We draft letters requesting documentation from outside sources. We send these letters to you in one package, with your intake form. For the documents you have to request (due to privacy laws), we provide you with the request letters to sign, with detailed instructions where they need to go. Once you receive the documents, you just send them to us and we take care of the rest.
If needed, we will assist your supporters with writing effective and persuasive letters of recommendation, including editing assistance.
ASSISTANCE WITH DRAFTING YOUR NARRATIVE
SPEAK ON YOUR BEHALF AT THE HEARING
We know that writing a petition for Executive Clemency can be difficult and scary, especially if you have not done it before. Your Petition is very important and your freedom and liberty is at stake. There's no room for mistakes. That's why we are here to help you write YOUR story, to make sure it is thorough, concise, and persuasive.
One of our representatives speak on your behalf at the hearing. You can trust that we will present you in the best possible light and plead for your petition to be granted. Our representative will also be there to support your family and friends who may be nervous about speaking publicly.
DRAFT YOUR PETITION
We make sure every requirement is met, based on your state's Executive Clemency laws. Some states use forms; other states require the Petition to be a narrative. Either way, we type it all up for you, ensuring that every component is tailored to your personal situation and circumstances. Your Petition for Executive Clemency will NOT look like someone else's. You are unique and your Petition will be unique.
OUR VISION
Capitalize on the justice paradigm shifting toward restorative justice reform
Our federal government and most state constitutions have express provisions for restoring offenders to useful citizenship. The good news is it is gaining more and more support from the public, courts, & lawmakers. The bad news is it takes time (often years or decades) to improve the criminal justice laws. Meanwhile your (or your loved one's) rehabilitative efforts remain ignored by the Courts. Absent direct action by legislators your only option is to file for Executive Clemency, a constitutionally protected process authorizing the President (for federal cases) or Governor (for state cases) to grant Pardons and Clemencies.
