Saphia Shaffie Consulting

Criminal Mitigation Assistance

Pre-Pleading Memoranda

our Approach

A majority of criminal cases end in plea bargains and getting a favorable outcome often rests in the hands of a defense attorney. While you may negotiate pleas, other times overwhelming evidence against the defendant is presented. Regardless of the case, we provide creativity for attorneys and their clients to ensure their freedom is the main priority.

Through mutual agreement between Saphia Shaffie Consulting and the attorney, client contact will be initiated where biopsychosocial interviews will be completed. Through clinical research, assessment, and facilitated communication between attorneys, clients, and mental health professionals, a well versed and clinically based pre-pleading memorandum will be submitted on behalf of the client at hand. Further, by observing and assessing defendants in preparation for both court appearances and trials, various assessments will be utilized.

Testimonials

In one of the darkest moments of my life, when hope and lack of confidence in myself was lost. I was recommended to rely on Ms. Saphia services. With her help and the input of my loved ones I managed to remember that one mistake doesn't define who I am and apart from that her creative PPM was a valuable tool that granted me the opportunity to redeem myself. Forever grateful.

Saphia Shaffie Consulting helped me find one of the best attorneys in NYS and saved me from the hardest time of my life. Saphia was kind and helpful in more ways me and my family could have asked for. I thank her deeply for allowing me my life back!

I would like to thank a million times. I can’t even to put into words how grateful I am for Saphia for her hard work communication, dedication, and explaining the process to myself and my family. She went above and beyond in writing and producing the PPM report. She is definitely one of a kind. Look no further. Saphia is the person you are looking for.

I would highly recommend Saphia’s services as she is professional, compassionate, and accommodating with schedules and life circumstances. I felt heard and understood as Saphia took her time to speak with me, listened carefully, and skillfully articulated my life story. Saphia is without a doubt, competent and efficient in her work and I would use her again for any psychosocial services.

Saphia is great at what she does. She is very welcoming and made me feel very comfortable to share my past experiences with her. She created a safe space for me to express how I feel. I have never felt judged nor neglected. She allowed me to speak about my situation and gave her upmost respect and never judged me. During the session always takes the time to listen and is always attentive. Any questions or concerns I have she always addresses them no matter how long it takes. She also replies within a timely manner no matter the time I ask a question and does her best to assist me. She also worked and completed my ppm very quickly and it was extremely well worded and detailed. While reading it I was definitely impressed by the level of detail and dedication that was incorporated in the formulation of the ppm. She listened to every little detail and included everything that was discussed during the session and did not miss anything. The wording of the ppm and the way that she carries and presents her practice is someone of a very high caliber of education. I am honored to have met her and will definitely work with her in the future. I cannot recommend her highly enough. When it comes to the decision of hiring her or not there is no argument, she is great and you will not be disappointed!

Having Saphia Shaffie on my side from start to finish, my experience with her help exceeded all expectations. Her putting together my PPM really changed the whole outlook of the jury and case. Their commitment to customer satisfaction was evident in every interaction and, the results they delivered were nothing short of outstanding. I'm grateful to have found such a reliable partner for all my legal needs. Thank you Saphia Shaffie for your exceptional service and expertise! Would definitely recommend to everyone!
