Federal Inmate Testimonials

Prior to my incarceration, I practiced Criminal and Civil law in California
for over 25 years, as well as overseeing litigation as general Counsel for
two corporations. In working with Levine in preparing the Class Action
lawsuit against the BOP, I find he has a high competence as a lay person,
and a superior understanding of BOP Policies...both written and
unwritten. Attending his program would be invaluable to anyone coming
into Federal Custody, or just wanting to learn what it's like inside.

I wish Levine's program had been available to me before I'd entered
custody. When it comes to knowing the Federal System, Levine's the
most qualified person I've ever met; on either side of the wall. At times, I
witnessed in utter amazement, him intentionally make himself a thorn in
the BOP's side, leaving them frustrated and powerless to stop him. If
facing Federal Custody...don't pass up a chance to learn from the master.

Being stripped of the world you know is the worst thing that can happen
to you. This being my first time in the "Fed's", I spent what seemed like
endless months searching the Internet, bookstores, legal sites, and other
prison consulting services in the vain hopes of learning the ropes of being
in Federal Prison. None of it was informative; but meeting Levine was a
nonstop learning experience. His knowledge of BOP Policies never
ceases to amaze me. His program's nothing short of a direct
representation of the knowledge he's bestowed on the countless inmates
he's come in contact with. If his program was available to me before my
incarceration, I'd have entered the Federal System fully armed to deal
with the challenges of daily prison life. Levine's program is a must have
item for anyone entering Federal Custody. You'll never be alone with
Levine being your guide.

Having already spent nine years in Federal Prison, I wish I'd known Levine
early in my imprisonment. His vast and detailed knowledge of BOP Policy
and Procedure would have been an immense help in making my life
easier behind bars. In addition, he could have helped me avoid
unreasonable, and sometimes in my opinion, illegal pressures by BOP
Staff. To go with knowledge, Levine has the willingness and valor to go
against what would seem to an ordinary inmate insurmountable odds to
help his fellow inmates. He simply will not be bluffed, cowed, or otherwise
intimidated, because he has knowledge, experience, and the will to fight
on his side.

Had Levine's program been available to me before I'd entered custody, I'd
have saved months of stress and tension; not gone through the anguish
of the unknown; and had all the mental tools to handle all the problems
I've encountered since entering Federal Prison. I recommend his course
to anyone entering Federal Custody.

In the BOP, Levine was definitely the GO TO GUY. He has the inside
knowledge and practical hands on experience to guide you through
today's tumultuous Federal Judicial System, by giving you the right
information, to make the right decisions, for the best results.

Lee Rice - 11886-023 NARCOTICS TRAFFICKING - Boise, Idaho

Having met Levine at a BOP Facility in Texas, and having spent thousands
of hours litigating prisoners' rights matters with him in the Federal Courts,
I can realistically say, I've met few fellow inmates beside him with the
HEART, to take on the ENTIRE PRISON ADMINISTRATION, to improve
inmate and prison conditions. This is extraordinary, as I myself am a very
capable prison litigator, with over twenty years in Federal and state
prisons. If I weren't in a position to help myself, I'd be pleased and
fortunate to have Levine assist me in any Federal Prison and/or custody
matter.

As One who was a lawyer for over 30 years, I can attest to Levine being
more cognizant and knowledgeable, than any lawyer I've ever met in
regards to Federal Bureau of Prisons Policies and their treatment of
inmates.

Arizona Law, Class of 1973 - Tucson, Arizona

After wasting hundreds-of-thousands of dollars on a so called All Star
Criminal defense team...I met Levine. His insight and vast knowledge of
the BOP and Criminal Justice System would have saved me years of
stress and anxiety; and provided me with valuable guidance that could've
knocked years off my sentence. I've been in the Feds for over four years
and dealt with hundreds of inmates, but Levine's the only one I've met
who really knows what he's talking about.

Stephen Gordon - 20464-112 - BANK FRAUD - Encino, CA

I personally witnessed the depth of Levine's knowledge of the Federal
Prison System, and watched him work selflessly and tirelessly under
extreme adversity and persecution to maintain his fellow inmates' rights.
He not only understands the official rules under which the BOP operates,
but the unwritten rules savoy inmates must follow to survive in a
dangerous and complicated society.

Daniel Conner - 13813-041 NARCOTICS TRAFFICKING - Boise, Idaho

Levine's superiority reigns supreme. In the uncertain world of
incarceration, Levine's unique insight into the Federal System truly equals
the playing field for you and your family. His knowledge of BOP Policies,
Federal Criminal Law, and his ability to tackle the real issues of being
incarcerated are simply amazing. I'm forever indebted to Levine for his
tireless efforts. His services are priceless.

Two thumbs up for Levine! With the tenacity of a bulldog, he single-
handedly took on the BOP by exposing and bringing to JUSTICE their
blatant disregard in following their own policies. If I had to do it all over
again...taking Levine's course would be NUMBER 1 on my list.

Richard Gregg - 33244-086 MAIL FRAUD, EMBEZZLEMENT -

Having been an inmate Law Library Clerk, on many occasions I saw
Levine assist inmates litigate custody problems with BOP Staff. Based
on my many years of Federal Custody, it's apparent to me, that Levine's
knowledge of BOP Policy exceeds most BOP Staff members.

Andre Holland - 19367-112 NARCOTICS TRAFFICKING -

Levine's unrestrained knowledge of BOP Policies makes him your one-
stop-shop for every question about federal prison life. His assistance can
make you and your families incarceration concerns worry free. He's the
only inmate I've ever met who can bring a sense of calmness to the
chaotic world of prison life. With him on your side...you and your family
have a friend you can trust.

Robert Thomas - 10915-041 ECSTASY TRAFFICKING -

The Kyyptonite giving annaphylactic shock to the BOP's called Larry
Levine. With the fearlessness of a Rottweiler on steroids, Levine
understands the BOP's weaknesses as they apply their own misguided
regulations on their captive Federal Prison population. BY peeling away
the double-speak of the BOP's Guidelines, Levine provides inmates
who've been wronged, an effective legal avenue to get back justice for
their individual problems.

Mark Little M.D. - 25094-112 MEDICARE FRAUD - Orange County, California

Before I entered Federal Custody, I had no idea what a convoluted, self
policing juggernaut the BOP really was. It was an extreme pleasure to
watch Levine operate and work his way through the web of BOP Staff as
well as manipulate the Federal Prison System in general. Well done!

Ronald Sherman - 30740-013 PERJURY - Colorado Springs, Colorado

When I entered Federal Prison and asked the older more educated
inmates who could help me regarding the BOP violating my rights...they all
pointed in Levine's direction and said, "he's the most experienced and
effective person around." From what I've seen, everyone goes to him for
help.

When I arrived at the Federal Prison in El Paso, my counselor calmly
asked me if I knew anyone there. When I mentioned Levine's name, he
flew from his seat shouting, "Look...we don't want any trouble here."
Levine's reputation helping inmates deal with problems on the inside's
unsurpassed. Take it from me, just mentioning his name can put staff on
edge.

On more than one occasion, I personally witnessed verbal altercations
between Levine and the warden. During their heated conversations,
Levine would repeatedly cite BOP Policy from memory, further baffling the
warden. Levine's vast knowledge and first-hand experience of the Federal
Prison System is incomparable to anything I've seen. If you're entering
Federal Custody, taking Levine's course is a no-brainer.

When I first went to my BOP counselor for assistance on a transfer, they
offered me no information or help at all. But with Levine's help, I got all the
answers I needed...right off the top of his head. And when he BOP tried to
stone-wall my transfer. Levine's valuable assistance got it back on track
FAST. I couldn't have done it with out him.

I spent 20 years as a corporate psychologist, and unfortunately ended up
in a Federal Prison Camp. Like most first-time white-collar offenders, I
was totally naive about the BOP. Prior to my incarceration, I searched far
and wide for information on the federal system, and came to the
realization it was hard to come by. But when I met Levine...he had the
answers to everything. He's a virtual encyclopedia BOP Policy and
procedure; and the benefit of his advice is that it's based on experience,
not from a textbook, and had I attended his program before my
incarceration, I'd been better prepared to face the harsh realities of
prison life.

Dr. Aubrey Strickstein Ph.d - 70741-083 WIRE FRAUD, AIDING & ABETTING
Phoenix, Arizona

When I was sentenced to seventy months I was shocked, my overpriced
lawyer who told me I'd get probation dumbfounded, and my wife was
panic-stricken. We made phone calls, searched the Internet, and found
practically no useful information about the BOP. When I self-surrendered,
they put me in with killers, bank robbers, and other violent hardcore
felons. As a first-time white-collar inmate doing time for sending a fax...I
could of been killed. When I got to the BOP and met Levine, the education
he gave me about the BOP was priceless. I only wish I could've taken his
program before I came in. I can't thank Levine enough for the peace of
mind he's given me and my family. I'd recommend his services to anyone.

Lawyers don’t know, judges don’t know and the DOJ won’t tell you. If you
want someone to give you accurate information and guide you through a
system that’s both frightening and complicated, then Levine is the person
to ask. Levine tells it like it is because he knows firsthand how it is. He
has given me invaluable information about everything there is to know
and some things I didn’t think I needed to know. Levine has been there
every step of the way for me.
