What our clients say about us
The people and families behind our work.

A. Lopez was serving a life sentence for a federal drug conspiracy involving marijuana and cocaine. His sentence was later reduced following the filing of a compassionate release motion.
I just wanted to thank you for everything that you did for my father ... He is a free man.

I recommend using McCracken Stoll and Associates. They helped me get all of the halfway house and First Step Act credit that I earned and was owed.

McCracken Stoll & Associates helped me when no one else would. I didn’t have much money but they believed in me and my case. They researched my 2255 case and helped me file a motion to get an attorney appointed. Because of their hard work the judge agreed to re-sentence me. I gave back almost 10 years! I’m home now because of them.
Each matter is different. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
