is primarily focus on federal criminal
defense and Federal Criminal
investigations also State Court felony
trials and then on the Civil side we
frequently represent whistleblowers in
litigation and also individuals in
employment discrimination matters
often ask the question of why should we
hire you versus someone else
particularly in federal criminal cases
in state criminal cases because there’s
a wide variety of lawyers to choose from
but I think you start with the fact that
we just have a track record of success
at trial and so when you’re a younger
lawyer or less experienced you know you
don’t have a lot to go to to say why
hire me but over the years we’ve become
known as people who actually take cases
of trial and win them so I think that
clearly distinguishes us from a lot of
others and you know secondly in terms of
hiring a lawyer it really is a
relationship you know whether it’s a
criminal case or civil case you’re going
to spend an awful lot of time together
over often time a period of years so you
really have to have someone you feel
Comfort level with and also someone that
you are confident is extremely dedicated
to fighting your cause at all times
