GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATIONS DEFENSE ATTORNEY

The potential consequences of a government or regulatory investigation can be devastating for individuals and businesses. Our firm is uniquely prepared to guide our clients through all types of government investigations. As a former special prosecutor, Harkey directed hundreds of investigations by the FBI, Secret Service, Inspector General, Secretary of State, SBI, Department of Insurance, License & Theft Bureau, and dozens of local law enforcement agencies.

Our firm takes a proactive approach toward every government investigation. We conduct a thorough evaluation and immediately implement steps in mitigation. Often times, to level out the playing field, our firm will launch a parallel investigation of our own.

We have confidently navigated our clients through matters being investigated by the SEC, DOJ, FINRA, and the North Carolina Attorney General’s Office. We have experience shutting down investigations, reaching favorable settlements, and being successful at trial.

As a special prosecutor, Harkey gained the respect of the law enforcement community for his leadership in managing complex investigations. He directed government agencies through some of the most intricate investigations in North Carolina history. Likewise, he currently guides clients through every stage of the government’s investigative process while seeking a successful result.
