“Suspension and debarment raise questions about integrity
and trustworthiness as well as the ability to contract with
the government.  Companies face a significant reputational,
as well as financial risk.  They need attorneys who understand
the system, know what techniques are effective, and have
proven results in defending clients throughout the suspension
and debarment process.”
