Drawing on his over 20 years of experience as both a prosecutor and defense attorney, Joey represents corporate and individual clients in criminal and civil investigations by the Department of Justice as well as regulatory investigations and enforcement actions by the SEC and other federal and state agencies. He has significant experience handling matters involving securities fraud, insider trading, health care fraud, the False Claims Act, antitrust violations, bribery, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, money laundering, tax fraud, and environmental violations. He has served as lead counsel in over 30 jury trials, including, most recently, a federal case in which the jury acquitted his client of all crimes charged in the indictment. Joey also conducts internal investigations on behalf of public and private organizations and their boards, counseling them on remedial actions and disclosure decisions. Joey previously served as an assistant U.S. attorney in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia, focusing primarily on fraud and public corruption. He tried numerous cases, including the first criminal securities fraud trial in Georgia and a capital murder case in which the jury returned a death sentence.

His advocacy has frequently secured either a declination of prosecution or substantially mitigated criminal or administrative outcomes for his clients. Paul’s defense practice focuses on prosecution of the federal anti-fraud statutes, bribery and public corruption, perjury and obstruction of justice, and federal money laundering and forfeiture claims. He regularly defends federal investigations and prosecutions under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, False Claims Act, Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and Stored Communications Act. He also routinely defends investigations and actions involving alleged accounting irregularities, stock manipulation schemes, and insider trading. And he has litigated the extraterritorial reach of U.S. indictments, search warrants, and grand jury subpoenas. Paul was previously an assistant U.S. attorney with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia, serving as deputy chief of the Economic Crimes Section.
