Laura A. Brevetti is a criminal defense and business and corporate law attorney in New York City, NY, who specializes in white collar and corporate crime. She’s a native of New York City and a graduate of Barnard College of Columbia University and the Georgetown University Law Center. She began as a prosecutor and soon became one of the top federal prosecutors in the United States Department of Justice Organized Crime Strike Force. Ultimately, officials in Washington, DC, selected her to head that elite unit in Brooklyn, New York. Before switching to defense litigation, Ms. Brevetti was a prosecutor. She won the convictions of the bosses of New York organized crime families, the leadership of powerful unions, Wall Street bankers and financiers, business owners, and politicians. New York media recognized her as one of the toughest and most successful prosecutors in the state. One well-known mobster, who later turned author, wrote in his biography that Ms. Brevetti was the one prosecutor he feared the most before his capture.
