How it works

Three steps to counsel

  1. Find the district

    Every federal case is assigned to one of 94 judicial districts. Search for it above, or choose the state on the map.

  2. Review the profiles

    Each attorney shares their experience, practice areas, the districts they serve, and how they work with clients and families.

  3. Contact them directly

    Reach the attorney by their own phone number or website. Prison Professors is never in the middle and takes no fee.

Our team speaks with federal defense attorneys across the country and shares the free resources Prison Professors provides. Attorneys who recognize the value of preparation, and encourage clients to take an active role in their own case, are invited to be listed.
