Michael S. Weinstein serves as Chair of the firm’s nationwide White Collar Litigation & Government Investigations Practice. He is a former trial attorney and federal prosecutor with both the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington D.C. He is called upon in the most demanding of situations to navigate and rebuff damaging civil, criminal or regulatory allegations from private litigants to government agencies, such as the U.S. Department of Justice, state attorney generals, FBI, Securities & Exchange Commission, FINRA and local government agencies as well as private, public and quasi-public corporations.
Each dispute, whether civil or criminal, can and often does bring with it significant personal, professional and financial consequences that require tactical considerations, strategic litigation, discretion, zeal and often aggressive advocacy. Michael appreciates that how to act as well as when to execute on a broader litigation strategy are equally important. He counsels clients from the earliest stage of government inquiries through investigations, testimony, discovery and ultimately trial. Michael provides forward thinking client advice in evaluating potential legal risks, assessing litigation options and executing on overall strategy. His approach ensures a focused, comprehensive strategy consistent with client objectives.
