Only defendant to get probation instead of prison

Outcome: 5 years probation with 8 mos home detention and restitution joint and several with the co-defendants

Description: Client was charged with Conspiracy to Transport Stolen Goods in excess of $5000 value along with several other co-conspirators. Initially the government was seeking about $2.5 Million in restitution and investigative costs. After a painstaking review of the loss documentation, we were able to convince the government that the loss attributable to client was $384K and reduce his guideline exposure significantly. After presenting considerable mitigation at sentencing, the client was sentenced to 5 years federal probation with 8 months of home detention. He was the only defendant in this case receiving a non-prison sentence.
