What Other People Are Saying

I quickly realized how deep the sea of prison consultants is and how many money grabber there are out there.
That is not the case of Walt Pavlo. I was still in pre-trail but my lawyer at the time did not request a specific location to the judge, so BOP assigned me to a random prison. I had Walt work with my attorney to submit a motion to the court to request BOP to change my designation. The relationship didn't end the day i went IN, it went on later. DO invest in someone that knows BOP
