Re: federal over sentencing motion

It sounds like you are asking how to file a motion for reduction of sentence. Most likely, that would be because your husband was sentenced on a crack cocaine case when the guidelines were mandatory, but now he might be eligible for a sentence reduction.

There are private attorneys who can help you with this issue. It is not something that you would want to try do do alone. If you need help, give me a call.
