Criminal Law

Embezzlement
We represent clients ranging from small businesses to large corporations and their insurers on fraud in business transactions and contracts, and fraudulent practices, such as breach of contract, bribery and corruption, fraudulent concealment, intentional misrepresentation and embezzlement.
Restraining Order
Successfully represented a materials testing and engineering contractor challenging FHWA’s improper sole source award of a laboratory support services task order to another contractor. After we filed a GAO protest and obtained a CICA stay of performance of the protested contract, the government announced it was going to override the CICA stay. We went to the U.S. Court of Federal Claims and successfully obtained a temporary restraining order prohibiting the government from overriding the CICA stay during pendency of a GAO protest. As a result, the government took corrective action, canceled the task order award we had protested, and awarded the client a task order for the work.
