Help Imprisoned Dad Obtain a Reduced Sentence

Donation protected
My father is enduring an unjust imprisonment that has lasted for a grueling decade. Unfortunately, there are still approximately 12 long years remaining before our family can be whole again.

We are seeking your support to raise funds for the legal expertise of Jorge Montes, an exceptional attorney who is uniquely positioned to advocate for my father's clemency petition. What sets Mr. Montes apart is his extensive experience working for the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. Although he resigned from the Board in 2010 to return to private practice, his deep knowledge and invaluable insights will guide us through the complex clemency process. The clemency process is where we petition the Illinois government to reduce my father's sentence.

Illinois is the best state to apply for clemency, as executive clemency is granted on a Frequent/Regular basis. Obtaining a reduced sentence to reunite the family is more than possible with your assistance.

Despite the challenges of being incarcerated, my father has displayed remarkable resilience and determination. He has diligently pursued his education, earning his GED, and is actively developing vocational skills, particularly in barbering. It is evident that he is committed to personal growth and rebuilding his life upon his release.

With your generosity and support, we can ensure that my father's case receives the attention and representation it deserves. Your contribution to this cause will not only change our lives but also stand as a powerful testament to the enduring values of compassion and justice.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your consideration and support.
