FIRST STEP ACT EXPLAINED - Q&A W/ EXPERT TOM ROOT

Since the passing of Prison Reform Bill the First Step Act, we have had an enormous amount of questions wanting to know when will individuals in custody see any of the benefits that this bill is supposed to offer.

Tom Root is an expert in the world of Prison Reform. Tom Root is the president of Legal Information Services Associates, LLC

Legal Information Services Associates is staffed by people with years of legal experience with the federal criminal justice and prison system. We provide post-conviction research and drafting services to support attorneys. Post-conviction remedies – which for many years were exercised through the classic common-law writs of habeas corpus, coram nobis and audita querela – are now governed by a confusing tangle of state and Federal statutes, rules and over-arching judicial limitations. With over two decades of experience litigating post-conviction motions at the Federal and state level, and with a special focus on the ever-changing area of Federal post-conviction practice and sentencing policy, we are positioned to assist attorneys who do not often practice in this specialized area with timely and comprehensive exercise of their rights.
