We Handle Federal, State & Local Jurisdictions Nationwide.
We also help defendants that are both convicted and not yet convicted.

First Contact With Prisoners

It is a theory of obtaining a sentence reduction by solving a criminal case in the local district of conviction using a licensed private investigator. There is no guarantee of success. We have to go about this several different ways if the prosecutor is not willing to consider it then we have to use the commutation of sentence process.

We are a Pennsylvania company that operates Nationwide, and the owner of our company has personally been cooperating with the government for over 34 years. We will mail them out an information packet. Please provide the name, prison ID number, and address if you have not already done so. We will need their permission to speak to you in detail about their case, so please have them contact us. We are in the office Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern Standard Time at 814-350-6898; you may also text our offices. If an inmate has an email service at their facility, please provide us the company, and we will set up an email service with them immediately. Our email address is huffmansservices18@gmail.com, and our website address is huffmansservices.com.

We offer internal prison assistance with:

We also offer a unique records collection unit where we will be able to obtain hard-to-find, difficult documents to enhance your own litigation. We also offer external prison assistance to buy and sell real estate, pay or collect on bills, research to see if tax funds are available for when you work but did not request a refund, research to see if the death of a loved one resulted in funds or property left in Probate, research to see if information that you may have to solve an insurance fraud case find a wanted fugitive, solve the criminal case to pay a reward or other benefit. However, the most likely reason for you to correspond is our sentence reduction division, and we will provide you with a simple explanation for a very complicated matter.

After we have been retained and have a signed agreement from our client and the only person that ever signs any agreement is the client, whoever pays us does so voluntarily and has no legal obligation to do so. Set up a partnership moving forward to resolve problems or obstacles to their release. We will then return to our offices, finish up our research, contact the prosecutor and begin the process of cooperation to solve a high-profile criminal case in the Local District of conviction, normally using a licensed private investigator who is a former member of the local law enforcement community in the Local District of conviction, who perhaps has been retired or was injured in the line of duty and has deep personal law enforcement contacts, who will be able to work with his former law enforcement calling to solve a high-profile criminal case to earn a sentence reduction under the substantial assistance to authorities laws, cooperation with authorities laws that every state and the federal government offer.

Please remember that we do not require any cooperation or information from our clients (however, every case is different), and we will have the records sealed from public view concerning our cooperation on their behalf. The average time for the process is 12 months. After the cooperation has been successful, upon motion of the government, the defendant would be returned to court, appointed another lawyer and have another probation report completed, go back before a judge and have a sentence reduction based on the value of our cooperation on their behalf, have an opportunity to argue with their new lawyers for a further sentence reduction based on other circumstances such as medical, changes in the law, new Witnesses or other circumstances that may significantly lower the sentence even further. After they are sentenced, depending on the circumstances, they would have the ability to file another appeal concerning their case for the new sentencing commitment order.

Please remember when cooperating with the government that mandatory minimums, recommended sentence guideline ranges, and time frame to get back into court do not apply when the government is using the cooperation with authorities laws, substantial assistance to authorities laws the government can do just about anything they want to do when they are working with the judge and using these types of laws.

Please remember that we do not make a profit from client expenses; they merely cover the expenses for this process. We do make a profit from solving a high-profile criminal case finding wanted fugitives which are paid by the local, city, county, state, federal, and sometimes private organizations for solving criminal cases and finding wanted fugitives.

Different retainers apply to different Services; just ask. However, the sentence reduction division requires a $10,000 retainer for long-term expenses as we will be required to be involved in the Local District of conviction for years or perhaps decades after this case is over. Monthly office expenses are $200 every month we work on the case. Travel expenses every other month or when we travel or communicate on their behalf is $200. The total internal expenses over 18 months, as previously described, are $15,400, and the process normally takes 18 months. Our company policy is upon request; we will stop working on any case and refund the balance of the unused funds during this process. We pay the private investigator basic expenses they work on the case one month we work on the case the next month and back to the private investigator. We cannot begin any type of service, no matter what type of service that may be, without a signed agreement from our client and a retainer to cover expenses. However, this process requires a great deal of patience and a commitment over a period of 18 months on behalf of the client's family to maintain the financial payments, and the client must make a commitment to stay out of disciplinary entanglements and comply with all of the prison rules. This is a difficult process and requires an extraordinary amount of effort to accomplish the necessary objectives navigating the way through the court system. There are three steps to this process.

We will do basic research on the criminal case. If the defendant is approved we will then do an "external company eligibility evaluation" which cost $2,000 and takes 90 days to complete as follows: we will contact all of the lawyers that previously represented the defendant, collect any legal documents and information that they may have about the case, we will collect all of the internal prison records from the prison relevant to the inmate to verify all of the internal prison statuses, we will contact the local law enforcement community in the Local District of conviction and find out the name of a licensed private investigator which meets our own requirements, that are willing to work with us, we will review the criminal court case to see if there is any issue that is worth litigating for our own purposes of maximizing the sentence reduction process and obtaining the full cooperation of the prosecutor and the judge, we will contact the prosecutor and provide them a brief to the prosecutor detailing the value of our cooperation we would be able to provide to the government and get prosecutorial permission to proceed with the cooperation for a sentence reduction process. At that juncture, we would reduce the normal price of the sentence reduction process by $2,500 that has already been paid, and if a payment plan is applicable upon payment of an additional $300 to equal the $2,800 down payment, we would immediately begin working on this case. The private investigator would begin their work which could take from 6 to 12 months, and at the conclusion of that, we would work with the newly appointed lawyer for the resentencing of the defendant for the maximum sentence reduction that is possible. If our case research shows the prosecutor would not be willing to consider a sentence reduction then while we will provide them a copy for information purposes only of the work of the private investigator which we never know how long it will take until the unsolved criminal case is solved we will then work on the commutation of sentence process as a means of a sentence reduction when the prosecutor's office will not be willing to consider a sentence reduction or our research shows that there's not the slightest possibility of the prosecutor agreeing to that process we will simply work on a commutation of sentence process and instead of going through the prosecutor we will use the commutation of sentence process.

Every case is different, so we cannot provide you an exact amount of the sentence reduction until much farther along in the case, and it is based on the type of case we are able to solve for the Local District of conviction and other factors, however statistically by the government own published statistics for cooperation with authorities the average sentence reductions range from 20 to 37% however, every case is different. For example, the owner of our company has testified in many criminal cases, multiple homicide cases, and to give just one example of many, he testified in the murder trial of a 30-year veteran detective that was murdered while trying to stop at a grocery store robbery and that individuals sentence was reduced by negotiation of about 90% considering several other charges dismissed and resentencing on a specific charge, along with immediate parole, special parole and even financial assistance negotiated directly from the prosecutors own office while the individual was released from prison on parole to help them start their life all over again. This was an extraordinary case, and every case is different, but this is an example of what is possible. 

In the state of Texas, in addition to getting the prosecutor's agreement for a sentence reduction, we also have to obtain, after the fact, the parole board's permission and finally, the Governor's office. For federal prisoners, in some cases, we will be able to develop the defendant's own information using a private investigator in the local district of conviction to satisfy the United States Attorneys Office. In some cases, a family member that may have some information is sufficient.

This is a simple explanation for the sentence reduction process. We are in the office Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Please visit our website for further information and send us an email with the defendant's name, prison ID number, and address and we will mail them out an information packet; please provide the case county, state, federal conviction case numbers for our research along with your personal contact information so we may correspond as this process moves forward. Please remember that there are no specific guarantees for this process other than that we guarantee we will do every aspect of the work that we have described to you, and we will work with you over an 18 months average time frame to resolve these matters. Please remember that every 60 days, Mr. Huffman travels around the United States from jurisdiction to jurisdiction driving a customized van design for this purpose dealing with his private investigators, lawyers, prosecutors, law enforcement, Corrections staff at the county, state, and federal levels resolving his client's interest.
