We are trial lawyers first and foremost—whether in government or internal investigations, responding to subpoenas, or preparing for in-court proceedings for corporate or individual clients. With experience on the other side, we understand the landscape and how regulators and prosecutors think. Our strategies provide efficient and effective tactical advantages that lead to resolutions consistent with our clients' interests.
Whether big or small, we work smart to give our clients fastidious representation. BigLaw, companies, and individuals turn to us to assist employees in government and internal investigations, as well as in responding to subpoenas for documents and preparing witnesses for deposition and grand jury testimony.
We have represented:

as state enforcement agencies. Several matters resulted in non-public resolutions with regulators declining to bring charges.
