Summary: Represented the United States in investigation and prosecution of real estate developer in complex bank fraud, bankruptcy fraud and contempt of court case. Case involved a series of transactions in which Litten, who had a stated net worth of $13 million at the time of his chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, sought to deceive both his creditors and the appointed bankruptcy trustee. Litten's contempt charge stemmed from an incident when he physically blocked access to a court ordered auction of his 220 acre Chesapeake Bay front estate and then sabotaged the bidding through a surrogate. Litten was convicted on all counts and sentenced to just over three years in prison. I handled the case through all stages, from investigation through appeal.

Michael Budd (and related cases), 494 F. 3d 517 (6 th Cir. 2008). Summary: Represented the United States in investigation and prosecution of obstruction of justice and criminal civil rights violations based on a series of beatings at the Mahoning County Jail. At the time it was the largest successful jail based civil rights prosecution in United States
history. After two trials, I successfully prose.cuted seven guards and supervisors including the second in command of the entire Mahoning county Sherriffs Department, Major Michael Budd. Budd had ordered the most serious beating in the case, and I was able to negotiate fair resolutions of the cases against the more junior guards in exchange for their testimony against Budd, who was their supervisor at the time. 2004-2006 (a) the date of representation; (b) the name of the court and the name of the judge or judges before whom the case was litigated; and United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio Judge Lesley Wells (c) The individual name, addresses, and telephone numbers of co-counsel and of principal counsel for each of the other parties.
