I am award-winning trial lawyer with over ten years of experience as a federal prosecutor. I have been nationally recognized by the Department of Justice Executive Office for United States Attorneys for superior performance. Now, as a defense attorney specializing in white collar crime, I represent medical individuals accused of or under investigation of federal crimes. With extensive experience handling
complex criminal cases, I am well-equipped to navigate the intricacies of criminal law and protect my clients from the serious penalties associated with these charges.
During the majority of my time as a federal prosecutor, I was assigned to the Complex Fraud and Public Corruption Unit, where I led investigations and prosecutions in high-stakes cases involving white-collar crime, public corruption, health care fraud, procurement fraud, tax violations, wire fraud, and other financial crimes. My work in these areas has established my reputation as a fierce and skilled advocate in federal court. I have handled thousands of cases at every stage, from indictment to trial, gaining invaluable courtroom experience along the way.
In addition to my legal practice, I serve as an adjunct professor at St. Mary’s University School of
Law, where I teach white-collar crime
