Lower Your Federal Sentence Under § 3582(c)(2)

When the Sentencing Commission lowers a guideline range — like Amendment 821 did — people already sentenced under the old range can ask for a reduction. We help you understand eligibility requirements and organize materials for a self-filed motion.

How It Works

Step 1: We check your eligibility

Not every case qualifies. We review your judgment and guideline calculation to tell you honestly.

Step 2: We calculate your new range

We run the amended guidelines against your case to show the court exactly what the reduction should be.

Step 3: We help you prepare your filing

Research and document support with the calculations laid out clearly. Courts respond best to well-organized filings.

Common Questions

What is Amendment 821?

A 2023 change that reduced criminal history points for many defendants. If you were sentenced before it took effect, you may qualify for a lower sentence.

Is there a deadline?

Deadlines depend on the amendment. Ask us about your case and we will tell you where you stand.

Does the judge have to grant it?

No — it is discretionary. But a strong motion with correct calculations wins far more often than a bare-bones one.
