Sophisticated Defense For Public Corruption
When the federal government brings corruption charges, the hammer comes down hard. If you are a “little fish,” they want you to implicate a bigger fish. If you are a big fish, they want you to believe they’ve got you dead to rights.
Doar Rieck Kaley & Mack is uniquely qualified to defend individuals and corporations against charges of public corruption. Our partners formerly prosecuted bribery and other corruption as Assistant United States Attorneys. We also have a background in internal investigations, regulatory compliance, government ethics and police internal affairs.
Our insights as former prosecutors and watchdogs are your advantage in responding to Department of Justice investigators or a grand jury subpoena. We can anticipate their tactics. We can gauge the true strength of the evidence against you. We can intervene to dismiss unfounded charges or negotiate a deal. Or, we can aggressively take the fight to them and make the government prove its case.
