Jay’s practice focuses on internal investigations, crisis management, regulatory and civil enforcement, trial work, and white collar criminal defense.
Jay is a white collar litigation attorney with extensive experience in leading federal grand jury investigations. During his time with the U.S. Department of Justice, he developed vast proficiency in the areas of corruption, fraud, organized crime, and money laundering. The cornerstone of Jay’s practice is his passion for courtroom and trial advocacy – in over 13 years of criminal prosecution, he tried over 100 jury trials in federal and state court.
Prior to joining Andrews Kurth, Jay served in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas (Dallas) as a Deputy Criminal Chief overseeing various areas of white collar prosecution. He supervised the office’s Special Prosecutions section where he actively managed, and often handled directly, its public corruption, health care fraud, civil rights, and environmental crimes prosecutions. Prior to that, Jay supervised the office’s Major Crimes section where he supervised many white collar prosecutions involving, among other areas, government program fraud, identity theft, and securities fraud. Jay’s prosecutions often involved cutting edge issues in money laundering and cyber-crime, and many of them were high profile matters.
