The World’s First Support Group
Devoted to Those Navigating
The White Collar Criminal Justice System

It’s the Isolation that Destroys Us
The Solution is in Community

7 Years of Support Group Meetings

We are a community of individuals, families and groups with white collar justice issues who have a desire to take responsibility for our actions and the wreckage we caused, make amends, and move forward in new way of life centered on hope, care, kindness, compassion, tolerance and empathy. Our experience shows us that many of us are suffering in silence with shame, remorse, and deep regret. Many of us have been stigmatized by our own families and friends, and by our former business relationships. Our goal is to learn, grow and evolve into a new spiritual way of life and to reach out in service to others.

Since 2016, over 650 Fellow Travelers have participated in our White Collar Support Group meetings on Zoom on Mondays at 7 pm ET, 6 pm CT, 5 pm MT, 4 pm PT. On March 6, 2023 we celebrated our 350th weekly meeting. All agree this has been a valuable, important experience in which everyone feels less alone, and gratified in the opportunity to talk about things and share critical, timely information in a safe space only we could understand. Please join us this Monday or sometime soon.

And, we have a 24/7 Slack chat group (especially helpful if you need a friend in the middle of the night), a white collar job and career board, peer and mentoring support, a Tuesday Night Speaker Series open to family and friends, a newsletter, social media channels and our widely-read blog with over ten years of important content, news and events relevant to our community, advocacy initiatives, partnerships with other nonprofits, access to a wide array of resources, and much, much more. All freely offered on a volunteer basis by our group members at no cost to you and your family!

Please feel free to contact us and join our community today. We look forward to being with you.

Prayers, blessings and לשלום for a peaceful week.

Testimonials

Evan Osnos, The New Yorker

“Jeff Grant is the real deal; he’s candid and generous with his wisdom. I can’t imagine there is a lawyer in this country more qualified to consider the complex issues facing people prosecuted for white collar crimes and their families.”

Jacqueline Polverari

“It was not until I came home and met Jeff Grant that I truly started my journey to redemption and forgiveness.”

Michael Kimelman

“Whether struggling with the most difficult crucible many of us will ever face before going inside, or coming home and facing the intense personal and financial difficulties of re-entry, Jeff has been a staunch ally and informational godsend for hundreds if not thousands of men and women over the past decade.”

Jordan C.

“With Jeff’s encouragement, I immediately took decisive steps to change the course in which I was heading with my budding small business, and to mitigate any potential criminal or other liabilities I may face….”

Bill Livolsi

“We talked for at least 90 minutes that morning, and never once did he rush me off or make me feel I was an inconvenience or my issues were not important.”

Tom Hardin

“I was known as Tipper-X. When Jeff mentioned there is an entire group of people like us who meet weekly, I suddenly felt a sense of relief.”

Seth Williams

“I was the elected District Attorney of Philadelphia. Jeff has been the big brother I never had; he has created a network of welcoming, non-judgmental, and understanding men and women that share their similar experiences in an open and nurturing environment.”

Richard Lee

“Jeff wears many hats – he is a spiritual counselor, a life coach, a critical thinker, and most important of all, is a friend.”

Matt L.

“Jeff is my quarterback and coach – he has been a life saver for me! He has been invaluable to me with striking the right balance of pushing my attorneys to do their job, understanding my case, and standing up for me – but not pushing too far and blowing up these delicate negotiations.”

Bill Baroni

“I was a ‘Bridgegate’ defendant. For years, Jeff has made it his mission to make sure that no one feels the isolation that can come from being a former inmate.”

Rev. Dr. Yvette Wilson-Barnes, J.D.

“Jeff operates out of a paradigm of care, heal-centeredness, education and awareness. His primary goal is to see people thrive and realize new hope from their past pain. I highly recommend Jeff for any public speaking engagement and as a collaborative partner.”

Jeffrey Abramowitz

“I was guided to Jeff’s door by complete chance and little did I know that I had just hit the proverbial lottery that would help shape and change my life.”

Deborah Montgomery

“Jeff is a humble force of nature, a voice of reason and dependability in the face of adversity, a trusted dependable advisor of business leaders, and, above all, a man of uncompromising integrity. I highly recommend him as an expert attorney and consultant in all business and personal legal issues, especially those related to the prevention and resolution of complex legal matters.”

Brad Spencer

“Jeff Grant is a deliverer of reality. This, in turn, eventually lifts one’s mood. When information can cut away the fog of distortion and magical thinking, then the real work of taking care of oneself can begin.”

Jon May, Esq.

“Jeff Grant does what others can’t; use his personal experience losing his marriage, his law practice, and his freedom to show others facing this same fate that there is a future they can return to that is purposeful and full of joy where they can recover their self respect and contribute to society.”

Glenn E. Martin

“I am an entrepreneur and Founder/former CEO of JustLeadershipUSA. I met with Jeff for 45 minutes and the conversation demystified so many questions I had about the next iteration of my real estate business. Jeff’s decades of experience, forthrightness and steady hand are invaluable to entrepreneurs like me.”

Rev. Joseph Ciccone

“I was the Sheriff of Bergen County, New Jersey. For many of us our story is transformed into one of new beginnings, second chances, and the opportunity to make a difference in the world. That is what Jeff Grant has given to us.”

Craig Stanland

“Jeff spoke as if he was living inside of my body at that exact moment. He spoke of shame and isolation; he spoke of uncertainty and fear. His words took the air from my lungs.””

Evan Osnos, The New Yorker
