Focused Sentencing Memorandum (FSM)
Oftentimes, misdemeanor cases share the same complexities as their felony counterparts. However, the court is denied the information offered in a pre-sentence investigation because the DOC only produces these documents for felony matters. The FSM serves to address this issue and assists the court by providing a valuable and accurate report for consideration at sentencing for misdemeanor cases.
The FSM is a "scaled" version of our larger Defense Sentencing Memorandum (DSM). The FSM allows the client to choose several of the following ten major topic areas to be investigated and reported to the sentencing court:
- Criminal History/Formal Correctional History
- Behavioral Assessment (sexual recidivism, general risk, AODA etc.)
- Defendant's Perspective for Sentencing Case
- Family Composition & Dynamics
- Emotional/Psychological Health
- Physical Health
- Sexual Experience
- Education
- Employment
- Military Service
