Are you a good person or legitimate business that has never been convicted of a crime? I am a Harvard graduate and former prosecutor who aggressively defends first-time offenders accused of non-violent crimes in state or federal courts. I provide smart, aggressive representation with a focus on individual attention, loyalty, and respect.

Former state and federal white collar crime prosecutor who won 90% of his felony jury trials. Defend individuals and businesses against allegations of fraud, bribery, kickbacks, public corruption, government fraud, export, import, false statements, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), tax, money laundering and other white collar offenses in federal and state courts. Assist businesses and other entities investigate crimes that have been committed against them by employees or outside culprits.

Assist companies in responding to potential criminal inquiries from the Securities and Exchange Commission. Assist trustee and receiver in cases stemming from violations of rules of Securities and Exchange Commission and federal law.

Are you, your business or your university being investigated? Do you need to investigate something that has happened inside or to your entity? As a former federal prosecutor and a leader of an investigations practice, I help businesses and employees respond to and defend inquiries from governmental entities, including subpoenas, document requests, and FBI and IRS investigations. I handle it calmly, strategically, quickly and fairly, and create realistic, credible remedial plans.
