EXPERIENCED FEDERAL MITIGATION

Editing & Filming Services

Hi! I’m Nicole Wise, the editor and videographer behind Wise Mitigation Videos. I would love to work with you to create persuasive and poignant mitigation videos for your clients. Please reach out with any questions!

“Our judge sentenced our client to home detention. He told us how impressed he was with the video. Then he spent the first ten minutes recounting our client’s full life story (without notes) based upon the video, including even remembering the date of his mother’s death. That never happens. The video did much more than a written sentencing memo could have done. I feel as if he actually understood our client and what he has been through. He felt invested in our client’s future and wellbeing.”

Examples

These short excerpts of the full videos give you an idea of the power of the visual message compared to a written memorandum. As we say, “show, don’t tell.” (Faces are blurred for privacy.)
