Former Federal Prosecutor and Agent at Your Service

I'm Justo Mendez, a former federal agent with HHS-OIG, and federal prosecutor in the Southern District of Texas, Houston office. I have over 20 years of experience investigating, prosecuting, and defending fraud and regulatory compliance allegations. My specialization lies in representing and advising businesses, executives, and professionals in investigations and enforcement actions. Government investigation and enforcement actions can be administrative, civil, and/or criminal.

Your Trusted Guide in Enforcement Actions

Whether you get a knock on the door by a law enforcement agent, receive a grand jury subpoena or civil investigative demand (CID), or any letter from a state or federal regulatory agency, do not ever engage with the government on your own. There is no "talking your way out of the situation", and everything you say may be used against you.
