Expert guidance through a complex regulatory investigation

Our company retained Sean Hecker when we faced a daunting, multi-agency regulatory inquiry that threatened significant disruption. His deep experience in white-collar defense and government investigations was immediately evident. He and his team at Kaplan Hecker & Fink provided a clear, strategic roadmap, navigating the complexities of healthcare law and compliance with impressive command. His recognition in these fields is well-deserved. Sean's calm, methodical approach was invaluable; he translated legal jargon into actionable business advice, which helped stabilize our operations. The outcome was favorable and far better than we had hoped. If there was one minor critique, it would be that communication from his junior associates could sometimes lag during non-critical periods, though Sean himself was always accessible for major updates. I would confidently recommend him for any serious corporate legal challenge.
