We strive to give practical advice to clients based both on accumulated experience in representing a broad range of clients in these very focused areas of practice for more than two decades, as well as our attorneys’ own diverse experiences inside major defense contractors, U.S. national security and intelligence agencies, in combat with U.S. forces, and in courtrooms as both advocates and expert witnesses.
