Jim Vani is now working in Chicago as a successful entrepreneur. He is also helping prepare White Collar Advice clients who are pursuing the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP). As you will hear in this video, Jim successfully completed RDAP and earned 18 months off his sentence. Jim worked incredibly hard and he has earned all of the good things coming his way. Follow his lead: take action, prepare and thrive. I am grateful to have played a small role in his success.
