Under Investigation?

Our attorneys routinely represent individuals and companies facing governmental investigations into alleged criminal misconduct. We have represented corporations, executives, and employees under investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Homeland Security, United States Coast Guard, United States Department of Justice, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and other government agencies.

In many situations, individuals become aware of an investigation before formal charges are filed. Early intervention by an experienced criminal defense lawyer can make a significant difference in protecting your future. Our firm also advises clients seeking guidance regarding whether proposed actions or business practices could violate criminal laws or government regulations.

A Victim Of Criminal Misconduct?

Our firm also represents individuals and companies seeking assistance in determining whether they may have been victims of criminal misconduct. We conduct and supervise investigations into alleged wrongdoing and assist clients with presenting their complaints to the appropriate law enforcement agencies for further investigation or prosecution.
