Government & Congressional Investigations

Our firm has a unique understanding of the many subtle differences among the congressional committees, their investigations, and the witnesses summoned to respond to their inquiries.

We treat these matters with a keen awareness of not only our clients’ potential legal exposure, but also their image and reputation. We approach each of these matters with sensitivity, as well as a focused effort to gather and analyze all relevant facts, and to assist clients who might be simultaneously confronted with parallel criminal and civil proceedings before courts and administrative agencies.
