Easy Time Consulting is a federal prison consulting firm founded by me Mike Collins, a former federal inmate who spent years inside the Bureau of Prisons system. I combine lived experience with formal education to help people facing federal indictment, pre-sentencing, and incarceration navigate the process with strategies built from both. Services include pre-sentence report optimization, First Step Act and RDAP guidance, good time credit maximization, halfway house placement, and in-prison advocacy. We operate as an administrative advisory service and do not practice law. We serve clients nationwide.

We offer highly tailored, non-legal assistance that transforms government bureaucratic processes into manageable, strategic assets.  Our comprehensive suite of consulting services is tailored to Americans experiencing the federal justice system; during pre-trial and in the courtroom; inside the BOP; re-entry and supervised release. All of our team members possess a unique blend of lived experience, professional BOP expertise, and formal education. With over 30 years of combined experience there is nothing that we haven’t seen. Your gut is telling you right. Hire Easy Time Consulting today!
