He recently led a team of accounting and computer forensic experts in investigating a massive international money laundering and embezzlement scheme. In winning nearly $100 million at trial in July 2008, Mr. Hellmich presented the complex accounting and computer expert testimony and conducted a key cross-examination of the defendant.
Mr. Hellmich has defended high-profile political figures, including a senior White House advisor in the Travel-Gate and File-Gate litigation, the Republican National Committee, Bush-Cheney 2000 in recount litigation, as well as advised the Presidential Inaugural Committee.
Before joining Patton Boggs, Mr. Hellmich served in the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General (JAG) Corps, where he acquired extensive jury and bench trial experience before civil and criminal courts. He prosecuted cases ranging from capital murder to major drug distribution. Mr. Hellmich also served as a trial attorney at the Army Contract Appeals Division, representing Army commands in complex multimillion dollar litigation.
