Nationwide Defense of White Collar Crimes

Criminal defense attorneys Solomon L. Wisenberg and Adrienne Urrutia Wisenberg lead the white collar crime defense team in the Washington, D.C. offices of Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

  • Solomon L. Wisenberg is a nationally preeminent  white collar attorney who defends business executives, public officials, and everyday people in sensitive legal matters.

  • With more than two decades in federal criminal practice--from conducting the grand jury questioning of President Clinton to defending targets in financial investigations and political corruption cases--he offers unparalleled experience and discretion in handling the most challenging, high profile proceedings.

  • Adrienne Urrutia Wisenberg's extensive practice in the federal circuit courts places her among the nation's most experienced federal criminal appellate advocates. She is Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

Individually and together, Mr. and Mrs. Wisenberg have achieved an impressive record of success on behalf of their clients, and have tried approximately 50 criminal cases to juries. Many of these cases were complex multi-week and multi-month white collar proceedings, involving dozens of witnesses and several hundred exhibits.

One Thing: Federal White Collar Criminal Defense

The Wisenbergs proactively represent clients at all stages of a white collar case, covering the complete range of federal white collar offenses. The Wisenbergs' white collar criminal defense practice encompasses jury trials, federal sentencing hearings, criminal appeals, corporate and company investigations, pre-indictment government inquiries (including federal grand jury investigations, appearances, and subpoena responses), post-indictment trial preparation, and negotiation of immunity agreements and plea agreements.

Small Firm Approach: Big Firm Resources

The Wisenbergs are able to offer the expertise, responsiveness, and personal attention you expect from a small, white collar boutique, backed up when necessary by the resources and brainpower of a major law firm. Rest assured, no part of your legal matter will be passed off unsupervised to a low-level associate or paralegal. One or both of the Wisenbergs will be personally and substantively involved in every aspect of your case. But when more firepower is needed to defend against assaults from the government, you will have the sophisticated capabilities of 500-lawyer Barnes & Thornburg, LLP behind you.

Totally Committed to Protecting Your Interests

Many individuals under investigation for fraud-related crimes are powerful business people or public officials who are accustomed to making command decisions and taking quick action. Unfortunately, the very qualities that make these leaders successful in their own fields can work against them during white collar investigations and criminal proceedings. Decisions made in haste are almost always costly. That is why it is important for anyone ensnared in a fraud investigation to consult with an experienced white collar attorney - an attorney totally committed to protecting your interests at every stage in the process.
