Overview

Liskow’s government investigations and criminal defense lawyers represent corporate and individual clients in matters including:

  • Compliance issues,
  • Internal investigations,
  • Grand jury and other investigations,
  • Criminal trials,
  • Qui tam actions and
  • Other parallel proceedings.

In the last decade, the government has broadened its use of criminal sanctions to regulate commercial, environmental, and health care activities. In this enforcement climate, only those experienced in the criminal process are likely to achieve successful results for clients. Liskow’s government investigations and criminal defense group is led by a former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana. The group has successfully represented corporate and individual clients in achieving the best possible resolution of a wide range of criminal and related civil matters. Some of the group’s most successful results have been in convincing prosecutors not to file charges against a client. But where charges cannot be avoided, our lawyers are equally well prepared to represent clients vigorously and successfully in criminal trials and appeals.
