Notable Quotes

My partner and I have combined criminal defense experience of 60 years in courts around the country. The tools and information provided by Mark and SentencingStats in a recent sentencing were invaluable, including statistical analyses not otherwise available as well as insight into other aspects of sentencing, such as intel on BOP facilities. Our client was thrilled as was the entire defense team!
Amber Donner
Amber DonnerGainer & Donner Law, Miami FL
I have worked with many sentencing experts over the years and none of them even come close to the in-depth analysis my clients have received from Mark Allenbaugh and his team at Sentencingstats.com. The statistical breakdown of sentences imposed, the accurate interpretation of JSIN data, and corollary issues such as life expectancy in prison and conditions of confinement have been indispensable to my sentencing advocacy. There is no question that Mark and his team's contribution to the motions and Sentencing Memorandums filed on behalf of my clients has been a key factor in obtaining variances from the Federal Sentencing Guidelines and imposition of more reasonable sentences.
