Partner & Deputy General Counsel, Wiley Rein LLP
Rick is a trial lawyer and appellate advocate.

His strong record of success includes winning his case in the United States Supreme Court and all five state Supreme Court cases.
Beginning with the Marc Rich cases while he was an AUSA (for those who can remember that far back), Rick has handled many high-profile representations, including dealing with the press as appropriate. Those matters include conducting an internal investigation for a U.S. Senator and representing the Senator in connection with a grand jury investigation, representing high-level White House officials in connection with criminal and congressional investigations arising from the Whitewater and Monica Lewinsky investigations, and representing Prof. Alan Dershowitz in connection with a defamation case in Florida.

Partner & Deputy General Counsel, Wiley Rein LLP
Rick is a trial lawyer and appellate advocate.

His strong record of success includes winning his case in the United States Supreme Court and all five state Supreme Court cases.
Beginning with the Marc Rich cases while he was an AUSA (for those who can remember that far back), Rick has handled many high-profile representations, including dealing with the press as appropriate. Those matters include conducting an internal investigation for a U.S. Senator and representing the Senator in connection with a grand jury investigation, representing high-level White House officials in connection with criminal and congressional investigations arising from the Whitewater and Monica Lewinsky investigations, and representing Prof. Alan Dershowitz in connection with a defamation case in Florida.
