Western Center For Defense Advocacy is a firm of Defense Mitigation Specialists,(non capital).
We provide defense mitigation services in support to anyone who is facing sentencing, in any federal court in the United States.
A mitigation specialist is someone who teams with defense counsel to provide supportive research and significant documented history of the defendant.in relation to obtaining a lower term at sentencing.
This is extremely significant in the federal arena because of the impact the sentencing guidelines can have on the term the defendant is facing.
In an effort to humanize the defendant in the eyes of the court and present grounds for a lower sentence, mitigation experts identify grounds for departure/variances as sanctioned by the guidelines. Our firm is composed of a team of non-attorney legal professionals who provide client specific services at the initial stage of sentencing proceedings.
