Who We Are

  • We are former Federal and State prosecutors representing corporations and individuals in criminal, civil, and regulatory litigation and investigations.

  • Our unique blend of public and private sector, criminal and civil legal experience allows us to navigate effectively a broad spectrum of high-stakes legal problems for our clients.

  • General Counsel routinely partner with us in matters involving internal and government investigations, and we often represent witnesses, subjects, and targets of Federal and State enforcement actions.

SHARED BACKGROUND AND STRENGTH OF OUR ATTORNEYS

  • FORMER FEDERAL & STATE PROSECUTORS
  • FOCUSED
  • CLIENT DRIVEN
  • TRIAL READY

Calcagni & Kanefsky was strategically formed with the singular purpose of bringing our exceptional Federal and State prosecutorial experience to bear for clients with critical matters.  Our attorneys are known and respected for our established relationships, credibility, and inside knowledge that allow us effectively to manage, navigate, and negotiate government investigations and high-stakes enforcement actions. We regularly leverage our substantial trial experience and track record to resolve the most complicated criminal and civil disputes.

We focus solely on litigation and investigations.  We are the legal team to whom our clients turn when facing high-stakes government enforcement actions or civil litigation.  We are routinely called upon to fight criminal charges, protect professional licenses, defend companies and their executives, and litigate complex business disputes.

We deliver personalized service to our clients.  This includes genuinely listening to our clients, making ourselves available whenever and wherever our clients need us, and being truly responsive to their requests, questions, and calls.

And because cost is always a concern, we offer innovative and flexible billing models that are tailored to address the client’s unique financial circumstances and bring transparency and trust into the billing process.

We know how to try cases and win.

While we recognize the costs and risks of trial and strive to avoid those for our clients when feasible, we approach each matter with a trial-focused perspective designed to get to the core of the controversy as quickly as possible.  We do not engage in time-consuming and inefficient pre-trial practice that is meaningless to success.  Our attorneys are trained to keep the clients’ objectives in sight and to focus efforts on the critical aspects of the matter.

experience,
credibility,
