If you want someone who is going to hold your hand and tell you its all going to be fine no matter what Sam isn’t that guy. If you want the truth and a real plan to deal with it, he’s exactly who you need. He’s helped me more than I can put into words.
"As a physician, I never imagined I’d one day be facing federal charges for Medicaid fraud. The legal process was overwhelming, isolating, and full of unknowns. I was referred to Sam Mangel by another professional who’d been through a similar experience, and from the first conversation, I knew I’d found the right person to help me navigate what was ahead. Sam didn’t sugarcoat anything. He laid out the reality of my situation with clarity and compassion, the same way that I have always tried to do with my patients. Most importantly, he helped me prepare. From understanding what to expect at sentencing, to walking me through prison designation and the day-to-day realities of federal custody, he was there every step of the way. He even guided my family on how to stay strong and connected during this process. In a system that treats you like a case number, Sam made me feel like a person again. I truly don’t know how I would’ve managed without him. If you’re a professional facing the unimaginable, do not go through it alone. Call Sam."
I work at a law firm in Connecticut that handles white collar defense cases and Sam Mangel has become an integral part to our client services operation. While our attorneys handle the case from indictment to sentencing, Mangel comes in and helps prepare our clients for sentencing to re-entry, or the BOP part of a person's journey. (We always hope that you don't need Sam, but find that it's best to prepare!) I've now seen Sam work with 5 different cases and he has, 100% of the time, brought a sense of calm and peace to our clients and their families. After our clients have talked to Sam, you can tell that it has taken the edge off and that they're feeling much more confident about what's next. You can actually see a physical sense of relief on their faces when they come into the office. Our office highly recommends Sam Mangel to anyone going through this journey.
SAM always picks up the phone and returns texts if he is not able to speak right away . He makes you feel very comfortable and gives you the time that is needed. Makes us mentally satisfied by answering all OUR CONCERNS in the complex DOJ and BOP system . When I was indicted , it made very nervous , heart broken and thought the my life was at a full stop . That's when I first connected with Sam ..... I met him in person couple of times in NYC. Spoke to him a zillion times . Sam met with my attorneys in person . Sam while in Atlanta made time to meet them .
When my brother was indicted for white collar crime related to his medical practice, our entire family was blindsided and overwhelmed. We didn’t know where to turn or what to expect from the federal system. After a lot of research and reading everything we could, we kept coming across Sam Mangel. We called and he answered, which felt like a miracle at the time because no one actually picks up. Hiring him was the best decision we made during that time.My brother is now serving his time with a sense of preparedness and dignity that we would not have been able to achieve on our own. Sam continues to check in and be available to us, which shows that he doesn’t just see this as a business. He genuinely cares about the people he works with.
Sam, 1st off I want to thank you, for all you do for prisoners across the US. I hired you in 2021 when you were with the other guys and paid you $7,500 to help me with my pre-sentencing as well as everything else before going to prison. I want you to know you did a great job for me and I’m forever thankful for that. I do understand you had a problem with your partners but I want you to know, I understand how things work in business. I’ve been my own boss my entire life and being an action oriented entrepreneur who has built, bought and even lost multi million dollar organizations, I do understand things happen and partners split up. You did an excellent job for me and again I cannot thank you enough. I plead guilty to Wire Fraud on the Covide Loans. Long story short I applied for loans totaling just under a million dollars and in the end I received $375k which I spent on personal items and investments. If you google my name it says I got just under a million but that is not true since when Bank of America figured it out they froze my accounts. I'm glad they froze my accounts because I know now I hurt a lot of people and I plan to pay every penny back. I have it down to $200k left in restitution.I could have received 110 months but thanks to the help preparing for sentencing, the judge gave me 41 months which I took full responsibility and accepted my sentence with a thank you your honor. Once in the Duluth Camp, I did everything you taught me, including qualified/completed RDAP, which I would have not known about had your organization not told me about. With all the programs you prepared me for such as RDAP, good behavior, and the First Step Act I was able to go to a halfway house after 13 months. I spent 2 months at the halfway house and then went home for 3 more months of house arrest. On December 21, 2023, I can proudly say I was released from the BOP and am now a year and a half into the 3 years of aftercare. I read and watched everything I could on your website, and that not only helped me to reduce my sentence but I knew just about everything before it happened. I knew what my 1st day would be like, I knew what not to say and more importantly what to say to others in prison. I talked to so many people who said when they came to Duluth they thought they were going to a high-security prison, they had no idea that there wouldn't be any fences and no locks on our doors. Thank you for everything and if you ever need anything from me please feel free to reach out. I have a lot of free time and would love to help you and your organization in any way I can
Sam Mangel's expertise is second to none, and he's assembled an extremely talented team around him in Eric and Shelbee. These are the only people in my legal journey that I actually enjoy speaking with on the phone beacuse they have answers and aren't trying to jerk me around. Thank you very much to Sam, Eric, Shelbee!
I talked to a few other prison consultants before hiring Sam, and I can tell you—there’s no comparison. Most of them felt like used car salesmen, promising the world without actually offering any real help. Sam, on the other hand, was real, straightforward, and completely focused on getting results. He helped me understand how to manage my time inside, what programs could reduce my sentence, and how to protect my reputation once I got out. More importantly, he helped my family prepare for the challenges ahead, which meant everything. Sam’s been there, he gets it, and he actually cares. I’d recommend him to anyone facing federal time.
My lawyer did what he could, but after negotiating the plea deal, I was basically on my own. That’s when I found Sam Mangel. He walked me through everything—how to prepare for my pre-sentencing interview, what to say and what not to say, and how to position myself for early release programs. Because of his guidance, I was able to cut my sentence by almost half. If you’re heading into federal prison, don’t wait until it’s too late—call Sam as early as possible. It will make all the difference.
When I was lost, overwhelmed, and unsure of what my future held, Sam Mangel stepped in and truly saved my life. From the very first call, Sam was responsive, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. He didn’t just offer generic advice—he listened to my unique situation and guided me step by step. When I was facing my sentencing hearing, Sam immediately provided clear examples, explained the three most important things I should ask the judge, and even helped me craft my letter to the court. When unexpected legal complications arose, he was quick to help me understand what was happening and offered unwavering emotional support. He was always available, never making me feel like just another case. His personal experience with the federal system gave him a deep understanding of what I was going through, and his guidance helped me achieve a far better outcome than I ever thought possible. Sam’s dedication is unmatched. He genuinely cares about his clients and their families, working tirelessly to reduce anxiety and provide hope during the darkest times.
