Government Service
From 2008 to early 2019, I served as an Assistant United States Attorney in Chicago for over a decade. My tenure was marked by notable achievements, including leading or co-leading in 17 trials, resulting in convictions. Additionally, I argued more than 20 cases before the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals and appeared before the United States Supreme Court.
From 2009 to 2012, I concentrated on drug cases, notably contributing to a Supreme Court case. Later, from 2012 to 2019, my focus shifted to prosecuting healthcare fraud, leading several high-profile cases to victory, including one featured on CNBC’s American Greed. My work on another case received the National Health Care Anti-Fraud Association’s 2018 SIRIS Investigation of the Year Award.
From Government Service to Private Practice
In 2017, I became senior counsel for the healthcare fraud unit, advising on cases nationwide and collaborating with Medicare to combat fraud. I also took steps to deter and prevent healthcare fraud, particularly in areas such as home health. This contributed to me leading a Medicare Special Open Door Forum entitled “Law Enforcement Observations about Home Health Fraud,” I helped develop a pilot program that Medicare’s Center for Program Integrity implemented. I co-wrote an article about reforming home health to reduce fraud and published a note about deterring health care fraud.
