Profile
Elite Federal Defense and High-Stakes Litigation
Griffin Durham Tanner Clarkson LLC is a premier litigation boutique located in Midtown Atlanta, known for its formidable team of former federal prosecutors. The firm was built on a foundation of elite government service; its partners previously worked for the U.S. Department of Justice, handling some of the most complex and high-profile cases in the country. Now in private practice, they use that ‘insider’ experience to defend individuals and businesses facing government investigations and serious criminal charges. The firm is not a high-volume practice; they focus on ‘bet-the-company’ litigation and critical legal matters where the stakes are incredibly high. Whether defending a healthcare executive against fraud allegations or representing a whistleblower in a multi-million dollar False Claims Act case, Griffin Durham Tanner Clarkson LLC brings the firepower and strategic insight needed to win against the government and large corporations.
White Collar and Criminal Defense
The firm is a powerhouse in federal criminal defense, handling cases that require a deep understanding of complex regulations and federal procedure. Their expertise includes:
- Healthcare Fraud: defending doctors, hospitals, and executives against charges of Medicare fraud, Anti-Kickback Statute violations, and Stark Law issues.
- White Collar Crime: Representing clients accused of wire fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, and securities fraud.
- Government Investigations: Guiding companies through internal investigations and responding to subpoenas from agencies like the DOJ, FBI, and OIG to prevent charges from being filed.
Civil Litigation and Whistleblowers
Beyond defense, the firm uses its trial skills to represent plaintiffs in significant civil matters:
- False Claims Act (Qui Tam): Representing whistleblowers who expose fraud against the government, helping them recover rewards for their courage.
- Catastrophic Injury: advocating for victims of severe accidents involving commercial trucks, medical malpractice, and defective products.
- Business Litigation: resolving complex commercial disputes involving breach of contract and partnership issues.
Unmatched Credentials
