A former federal prosecutor and CIA political analyst, Alex Little brings unparalleled experience to complex criminal defense, government investigations, and high-stakes litigation. His unique background combines sophisticated trial advocacy, international diplomacy, and strategic crisis management—enabling him to navigate cases that extend beyond traditional legal boundaries.

As an Assistant U.S. Attorney in two federal districts, Alex led multi-agency teams in national security and white-collar crime investigations, trying dozens of cases before federal juries. His prosecutorial experience spans complex financial fraud, public corruption, organized crime, and national security matters. This insider's perspective now provides clients with invaluable strategic advantages in criminal defense and government investigations.

Before entering private practice, Alex worked alongside President Jimmy Carter at The Carter Center, supporting peace negotiations in Sudan and developing diplomatic solutions to international conflicts. His earlier role as a CIA Political Analyst further enriched his understanding of complex global challenges. Whether in the courtroom, boardroom, or international venue, he brings a sophisticated understanding of how legal challenges intersect with business objectives and reputational concerns.
