Reviewed by John D. Kirby, Former U.S. Federal Prosecutor
This guide explains how guideline ranges are built, which facts move the number, and why mitigation has to begin long before the hearing.
Base level
The offense level starts with the charge and relevant conduct.
Enhancements
Role, loss, violence, firearms, and obstruction can raise exposure.
Mitigation
Acceptance, cooperation, and personal history can bring the range down.
