Jeffrey Hamlin

Jeffrey Hamlin approaches his clients’ problems personally, as if he were solving them for someone in his own family. He carefully weighs all sides of the issue, assesses all the evidence and considers the consequences of various outcomes. In recommending a course of action, he gives his honest and direct judgment of how to achieve what is best for the client. In carrying out that course of action, he consistently applies the sum of his knowledge and skills.

With a practice focused on white collar criminal defense, major civil litigation and government contracts, Jeff understands the weight of the legal problems his clients face. Often, the wrong outcome can mean prison, financial loss and personal devastation. Knowing that, he invests himself fully in each case, applying the full breadth of his experience acquired in a broad range of practice areas. Jeff dedicates himself to understanding the fine details of each case and the governing legal landscape. In that way, he is able to help his clients identify the most promising way through their legal problem.

A litigator who has handled cases in environmental law, civil rights, and legal ethics, Jeff now focuses his practice on white collar defense, FTC litigation, government contracts, health care litigation and internet gaming. Among his many cases, he has successfully represented the former CEO of an internet company charged with securities fraud, the owner of a pharmaceutical supply company charged with diverting pharmaceuticals, and a kidney dialysis provider seeking to operate in a city that had closed itself to new dialysis stations.

Jeff began his career as an environmental associate in the Washington, D.C. office of Latham & Watkins. In 2007, he joined Jeff Ifrah at Greenberg Traurig, where he began to focus his practice on government contracts, health care and white collar defense. In 2009, Jeff joined Ifrah PLLC as its first associate.

Throughout his legal career, Jeff has been committed to pro bono work. He recently represented two naturalized citizens who were being investigated for mortgage fraud in Northern Virginia. He also worked with Washington’s Whitman-Walker Clinic to prosecute an Americans with Disabilities Act case against D.C. Public Schools and helped obtain immigration relief for a teenage orphan from Guinea, West Africa.
