I am happy and proud to share that after 7 years I am 100% a free man. Mr Hilder and Ms McGuire guided me through a multi agency and multi national FCPA conspiracy case that could have ended much worse had it not been for their concern for my well being and ultimately that of my family. On May 2016 I got the knock on my door that would turn our world upside down until the 1 year reduction of my supervised release the team at Hilder & Associates was able to deliver June 2nd 2023.
