Sentencing advocacy is a critical legal service focused on influencing the penalties given to individuals convicted of crimes. Effective advocacy can result in reduced sentences or alternative penalties that better fit the circumstances.
It is important because the consequences of sentencing impact not only the individual’s freedom but also their future opportunities and quality of life. Proper advocacy ensures the client’s narrative and mitigating factors are considered by the court.

Sentencing advocacy can impact a range of penalties including imprisonment length, probation conditions, fines, and community service requirements. The goal is to achieve a sentence that reflects fairness and individual circumstances.
In some cases, advocacy efforts can help secure alternative sentencing options such as treatment programs or diversionary measures, especially for non-violent offenses or first-time offenders.
The length of the process varies depending on the case complexity and court schedules. It typically starts after conviction and can extend through the sentencing hearing and any related post-sentencing motions.
Ott Law works efficiently to prepare your case promptly while ensuring no detail is overlooked, to provide the best possible timing and outcome for your sentencing advocacy.
