We understand that confrontation with the federal government must be undertaken intelligently with extensive preparation, thorough documentation and a creative, well-founded and well-researched legal theory, uniquely tailored to our client’s needs.
Long-Term Solutions
Experience and Expertise
Over the last ten years, we have represented hundreds of clients in a wide range of government investigations, assisted many clients in responding to proposed disciplinary actions, and litigated before the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, agency offices responsible for security clearance determinations, and similar forums.
When encountering potential exposure to criminal charges, we provide our clients with the benefit of our well-established relationships with respected criminal defense attorneys throughout the country.
Attention to Detail
We take pride in our attention to detail. While investigations and administrative processes frequently follow familiar patterns, each case is unique and requires a careful analysis of the relevant facts and a creative assessment of all possible defensive strategies.
We have developed a number of best practices to ensure that we are “looking under every rock” to protect our clients’ interests. Resolutions of cases frequently turn on a single fact discovered only after close and careful scrutiny of the situation.
