No legal advice; no attorney-client relationship
Get My Days Back is not a law firm, and no one on our team acts as your attorney. Nothing on this website, in our guides, workbooks, templates, calculators, bulletins, coaching sessions, emails, or any other materials or communications constitutes legal advice. Everything we publish is general legal information and self-help education: explanations of statutes, regulations, Bureau of Prisons policies, and court procedures as they exist publicly, written for a general audience.
Using this site, purchasing a membership, submitting an assessment, or communicating with us does not create an attorney-client relationship of any kind. Nothing you send us is protected by attorney-client privilege. We do not review the facts of your case and tell you what to do — because we lawfully cannot, and because pretending otherwise is exactly the kind of harm this site exists to protect families from.
The line we do not cross: unauthorized practice of law
Every U.S. state prohibits the unauthorized practice of law. In Florida, where this business operates, unauthorized practice of law is a criminal offense, and The Florida Bar actively enforces the line between legal information and legal advice. We take that line seriously and build our entire service on the information side of it.
Concretely, this means we will never: tell you which motion or remedy fits the specific facts of your case; draft, prepare, or complete a legal document with arguments customized to your case; select legal strategies for you; interpret how the law applies to your particular situation; represent anyone before any court or agency; or hold ourselves out as able to do any of those things. Our templates are blank educational forms with instructions; our coaching is procedural (how the process works, what the deadlines are, how documents are formatted and filed); and any document-formatting assistance is performed at the customer’s direction, with the customer’s own words and arguments. The person in custody is always the author and filer of their own filings, pro se.
No outcomes are promised — ever
We make no guarantee, promise, or prediction about the outcome of any administrative filing, motion, petition, transfer request, placement decision, or any other matter. Time-credit corrections, sentence reductions, transfers, and placements depend on individual facts, agency discretion, and judicial decisions that no one — including lawyers — can guarantee. Any testimonial or example on this site describes a particular situation and is not a promise that your situation will resolve the same way.
Educational content can contain errors and can become outdated as statutes, regulations, BOP program statements, and case law change. We date-stamp our guides and review them on a schedule, but you are responsible for verifying current law against the primary sources we cite before relying on anything. If you find an error, please tell us — we correct promptly and note material corrections.
When you need a lawyer, get a lawyer
Some situations genuinely require licensed counsel: contested legal-interpretation disputes, §2255 motions with complex claims, evidentiary hearings, direct appeals, any new criminal exposure, and any situation where the stakes or complexity exceed what self-help education responsibly covers. Our guide on when you need a lawyer is candid about these categories, and our Warrior-tier attorney referrals are provided free of charge — we accept no fees from attorneys, and a referral is not a recommendation, endorsement, or guarantee of any lawyer’s services.
If you cannot afford counsel, federal courts can appoint counsel in limited circumstances, and legal aid organizations and law school clinics serve incarcerated people in many districts. Do not let the existence of self-help materials talk you out of professional help your situation actually needs. We say this on nearly every page because we mean it.
Scope, jurisdiction, and liability
Our materials cover the federal prison and post-conviction system only. State systems differ fundamentally, and nothing here should be applied to a state case. Our materials are written for a U.S. audience and are current to the review date shown on each page.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Get My Days Back and its owners, contributors, and staff disclaim all liability for actions taken or not taken based on the contents of this site or our materials. Use of this site is also governed by our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. Questions about this disclaimer can be sent to contact@getmydaysback.com.
