What does your judge actually do at sentencing?
Before checkout, we check whether your federal judge is covered. If covered, we pull below-range patterns, plea-versus-trial gaps, similar cases, and race-breakdown data where available. Federal-court only. Your attorney decides what to do with the data.
The federal sentencing range is public. The judge-level pattern is harder to see. How often they sentence below it. What happens at plea versus trial. What happened in similar cases. This gives your attorney a record-backed pattern to test, not a recommendation. You're the only one in the room without the pattern. $297 to walk in with what they already have. Records show, your attorney decides. Legal information, not legal advice. Federal-court judges only.

Sample insight from a real report:
"The difference between a sentence inside the federal range and one below it is usually measured in years, not months. Records show when clean record, family ties, role, or case context appear in below-range outcomes. Without the pattern, sentencing arguments lean on experience alone. Your attorney decides whether to use it. Legal information, not legal advice."
