David Chase is a seasoned SEC investigation lawyer and former SEC enforcement attorney who understands how the SEC operates from the inside.

• Look for a Former SEC Enforcement Attorney: Counsel with insider experience knows how the SEC builds its cases, evaluates evidence, and decides whether to close an investigation or recommend civil prosecution.
• Prioritize Dedicated Experience: Choose an attorney with decades of exclusive focus on SEC defense and federal securities matters—not a generalist or a large firm handing your case off to junior associates.
• The Advantage of Sole Representation: Direct and exclusive access to David Chase, from inception of the investigation to its conclusion, structured on a transparent flat-fee basis.

• Protect Your Attorney-Client Privilege: Do not discuss the SEC investigation or its subject matter with colleagues, friends, family, or business associates–such conversations are not privileged and are fair game for the SEC.
• Avoid Making Statements in Writing to Third Parties: Emails, texts, and messaging app communications are similarly not privileged and can be obtained by the SEC.
• Let Counsel Lead: Hunker down and let your SEC defense lawyer handle all communications with the SEC, learn the facts, and formulate a strategy aimed to defuse the investigation.

• Avoid Obstruction Charges: Deleting emails, destroying files, or tampering with documents after receiving a subpoena can constitute obstruction of justice, a criminal offense.
• Protect Your Case: Preserve all relevant materials so your attorney can properly assess your defense.
