I am delighted to write this review to express my deep appreciation for the incredible work that Stephanie has been doing in the realm of criminal justice reform and assisting individuals with pardons. Stephanie's selfless dedication to this cause is truly inspiring and has had a profound impact, not only on my life but on the lives of countless others who have been touched by her unwavering commitment.

My name is Derek Emery. I am a person living in long-term recovery and a returning citizen from our justice system.

For over the last 10 years, I have tirelessly worked on learning healthy coping skills and working the steps of my recovery program.

Through my recovery journey with mental health and substance abuse, I began service work. Through this service work, I found a passion for being of service for others facing these same barriers.

At Empire, we are proud to share our remarkable accomplishments in the past year. With dedication, resilience, and an unyielding commitment to justice, we have successfully completed dozens of clemency applications, bringing hope and transformation to deserving individuals seeking a second chance.
