WHITE COLLAR DEFENSE
& GOVERNMENT
INVESTIGATIONS

Adams, Duerk & Kamenstein offers clients the depth of experience necessary to fully understand the regulatory concerns of key government agencies, and to help clients make critical, timely decisions to mitigate the impact of government investigations and enforcement. We have represented clients facing federal government investigations into False Claims Act, loan fraud, bank fraud, insider trading, securities fraud, and more.

Two founding partners – Christine Adams and Adam Kamenstein – are highly recognized former federal prosecutors in Los Angeles who bring valuable credibility and a proven track record. Their experience helps ADK guide clients through complex inquiries and prepare efficient defense strategies for parallel government investigations, criminal and regulatory proceedings, and civil litigation.

Our firm represents corporate and university boards, individual directors, executives, individual targets, witnesses, and victims in criminal and regulatory investigations and prosecutions, as well as related civil actions. In addition to comprehensive defense strategies and creative problem-solving, ADK provides advice on strategic initiatives and crisis management.

Our team has experience with and applies the same high standards of the large, highly-ranked law firms in the country. Our trial and arbitration experience enables us to optimally position cases at their outset and effectively litigate alongside and against other preeminent firms. We use profound care and attention to detail to devise practical solutions that focus on our clients’ best interests to deliver the greatest possible value.
