Recognized as a Best Lawyer in America and ranked in Chambers and Partners for his work in white collar defense, Jed leverages his experience to represent individuals and organizations in complex investigations and other proceedings concerning tax fraud, money laundering, corruption, health care fraud, and False Claims Act matters, among others.

Jed’s trial work has been described by adversaries as “exceptional” and “skilled” (U.S. government filings in U.S. V. Boncy and U.S. v. Baptiste).

At the Tax Division, Jed handled all aspects of complex tax fraud investigations and prosecutions in districts throughout the country.
