“Helping clients shine a light on complex schemes to defraud the government is the best job in the world.”
“I have spent my entire career fighting fraud and corruption by holding corporations accountable for the harm they cause people, communities, and taxpayers. I am deeply honored to represent the brave individuals who stand up to companies that cheat taxpayers by harming patients, jeopardizing national security, or otherwise defrauding the government.”
