Being asked to give testimony or hand over documents in a federal investigation is unsettling, particularly when you have done nothing wrong. You may not be the focus of the case, but what you say can carry consequences — for you, and sometimes for others — and you are entitled to a lawyer whose only job is to protect you. We represent people called to testify or produce records in grand jury investigations and other government inquiries. We prepare witnesses for what to expect and help to facilitate answering the government's questions or responding document requests. In matters where one person's account can affect many others, preparation based on experience matters all the more.

​

We also serve as conflict counsel and pool counsel, stepping in when a company's or a co-defendant's attorney cannot advise an individual without a conflict of interest. Having questioned witnesses ourselves as federal prosecutors, we understand how the government uses testimony — and how to prepare you to give it.
