Following his Fulbright, Mr. Fitzpatrick
worked as an associate for Rogers and Wells before joining the U.S. Attorney's
office for the Southern District of New York.
As an Assistant United States Attorney, Mr. Fitzpatrick handled a wide
range of criminal investigations, trials (30 to verdict) and appeals (about
12). He was promoted to Assistant Chief
of the Division during that period. He
then joined the full-time faculty at Fordham
Law School,
where he taught Evidence, Trial Advocacy and Criminal Law. Subsequently, he became a partner at Martin,
Obermaier & Morvillo (the firm later became Obermaier, Morvillo, Abramowitz
& Fitzpatrick). He returned to the
U.S. Attorney's office (S.D.N.Y.) as Chief of the Criminal Division, where he
supervised all the prosecutors in the Division and handled his own cases as
well.
Mr. Fitzpatrick's representations cover virtually the entire
range of white collar offenses, including tax fraud (evasion, failure to file,
tax shelters, payroll and sales tax), securities fraud (insider trading,
accounting fraud, mutual fund trading practices, mortgage securitization
practices, disclosure issues), antitrust, Foreign Corrupt Practice Act, money
laundering and structuring cash transactions, mail and wire fraud, perjury and
obstruction of justice, health care fraud and immigration, among others. Mr. Fitzpatrick has represented clients
before federal, state and local courts, prosecutors and regulators throughout
the United States and in
more than a dozen foreign cities, including London,
Zurich, Geneva, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Bonn, Paris, Rome, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore.
Mr. Fitzpatrick's clients are assured of his personal
attention to all phases of their representation. When a particular investigation
or trial requires additional support, he regularly utilizes an experienced,
highly skilled solo practitioner who has an LLM in taxation as well as other
similarly skilled and experienced solo practitioners and small firms.
