Both Sides Prison Consulting
Our Story
Joel Grossbarth, Founder of Both Sides Prison Consultants, went from being a highly respected attorney, prosecutor, defense attorney and litigator to inmate number 14A1482. Most prison consultants were either former attorneys or former inmates. Few have had the experience of seeing the system from “both sides.” After being sentenced to an indeterminate sentence with a maximum term of 4 ½ years, Mr. Grossbarth served only 15 months after learning the system, the programs, and how to minimize the actual time spent behind bars. Why not let his experience help reduce or eliminate the time you will or may spend in prison and away from your loved ones and families.
How Do We Help Reduce Your Sentence?
We offer assistance to our clients, federal and state offenders and their lawyers in plea review, post-plea and conviction stage proceedings and, if necessary, post incarceration stage of their criminal proceedings. We provide pre-plea as well as post-conviction and sentencing services, including state parole assistance. Our entire focus is to minimize or eliminate the amount of time one spends “behind the wall.” We also assist in the placement and designation to federal prison, camps and minimum security facilities. Both Sides Prison Consultant’s founder and Managing
Director was formerly a practicing lawyer and an inmate/offender that was incarcerated in several prisons with different security classifications.
We do not provide legal advice or provide legal services and are not a substitute for your lawyer. While we work closely with attorneys throughout the country, we do not provide legal advice or actual services. Rather, we work with our clients, their lawyers and family with proposed plea agreement review, Pre-Sentence Report (PSI/PSR) evaluation and commentary; sentencing guideline departure investigation and analysis; prison designation and classification services and post-conviction assistance. We assist our client, their family and legal team to minimize the
amount of time the offender will be incarcerated. We believe that our services may be of assistance in minimizing the actual time our client spends in prison and may reduce their security classification and, hence, affect the nature and type of facility they are assigned. We work closely with our client and their legal team to ensure that incarceration is the last possible alternative for the court and ultimately for our client.

Payments and Fees
Our fees are based upon the time necessary to achieve the objective for which we are retained. As each case is unique, and the facts and circumstances surrounding each individual’s alleged crime is different, our fees are dependent upon the complexity of the matters involved and the level of assistance needed. Fee arrangements can be structured so as to take into consideration
your financial resources and current circumstances. We make every effort to assist our clients and friends regardless of financial ability. We also offer a Free 30-minute Initial Consultation. If a retainer does not fit into your financial situation, we offer hourly rate assistance on an individualized basis for a fee ranging between $195.00 and $250.00 per hour. Please feel free to contact us for a confidential discussion of what we may be able to do for you.
