Max Miner says a client facing 10 years got two years' probation

Partner content: this clip features Max Miner, a pretrial mitigator with Executive Treatment Solutions (@executivetreatmentsolutions on Instagram), speaking on the Juice Unlocked podcast.

Asked whether he works with hustlers, Miner described a recent client he says was picked up in Northern California during a run from L.A. to Humboldt. According to Miner, the client had a couple of kilos each of cocaine and ketamine and a couple hundred pounds of marijuana, and was looking at 10 years. Miner says his team helped get that down to two years' probation.

Juice Unlocked has not independently reviewed the case. Miner did not name the client or the court.

Miner said his team works on both state and federal cases, and that the result is not automatic: clients are expected to attend programs and prove themselves afterward.

What a mitigator does

Mitigation specialists are part of a defense team. According to West Virginia Public Defender Services, they dig into a client's background and write a report for the judge that focuses on the person, not just the offense. They also connect clients with resources such as mental health or substance abuse programs.

“So he was looking at 10 years. I worked with him. We got him ... two years probation.”

“They're going to go to programs. They're going to be putting the work in. You got to earn it.”
