A Lifeline During a Complex Federal Investigation

When my company faced a daunting federal whistleblower (Qui Tam) investigation, the stakes were incredibly high. We needed counsel who understood both the intricate legal landscape and the local Mississippi courts. Mark Jicka of Watkins & Eager was that counsel. His 37 years of experience were immediately evident. He didn't just react; he built a proactive, strategic defense that addressed every facet of the allegations. His deep knowledge of Qui Tam law, underscored by his recent 'Lawyer of the Year' recognitions, gave our entire team confidence. Mark explained complex federal and state procedures with clarity, never resorting to jargon, and was consistently accessible throughout the multi-year process. His steady guidance and formidable courtroom presence ultimately led to a resolution that protected our business's future. He is the epitome of a seasoned, strategic advocate.
