Federal Investigations. Federal Prosecutions. Regulated Industries.

I represent companies and individuals in federal investigations and prosecutions, and I work with regulated businesses that want to identify and manage their exposure before the government shows up.

Practice Areas

Criminal Defense

Experienced federal criminal defense counsel from arraignment through sentencing.

If you have been charged with a crime in federal or state court, you have an understandable amount of anxiety and a myriad of questions. Your liberty is at stake. We’re here to help you understand the nature of your legal situation and form a plan designed for success. Our firm prioritizes client service, which often means crisis management.

Investigations

If you think you may be under investigation, the time to act is now.

If you have been served a subpoena for documents, bank records or testimony, or otherwise believe you are the target of Government investigators, please contact us today. Government investigations require the right plan of action, which can only be carried out by experienced counsel.

General Counsel

Proactive legal counsel for companies operating in regulated industries.

We understand—you have complicated and unique legal problems. You need immediate answers.

Post-Conviction Relief

A sentence is not always the end of the road.

A sentence is not always the end of the road. I handle compassionate release motions, § 2255 petitions, sentence reduction motions, and other post-conviction relief for clients who need a second look after sentencing.

Grand Jury Subpoenas

Do not respond before speaking with counsel.

Receiving a federal grand jury subpoena, for documents or testimony, is one of the most urgent legal situations a person or company can face. Do not respond to anything before speaking with counsel.
