Editorial review by AttorneyReview
A Birmingham cybersecurity and white collar defense lawyer who ran federal cybercrime cases
Daniel J. Fortune practices with Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP in Birmingham, with a J.D. from William & Mary Law School (2002) and a B.A. from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (1998). His profile describes a practice in cybersecurity, white collar defense, government enforcement actions and regulatory compliance, and states that he has litigated more than 75 jury trials in federal and state courts, many involving computer forensics. In our editorial view, the prosecutor years are the detail worth noticing. His profile describes service as a state and federal prosecutor, then as Deputy Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney in a Criminal Division supervising cybercrime, white collar fraud, public corruption, asset forfeiture and national security matters, and as the office's Computer Hacking and Intellectual Property Coordinator with a top-secret clearance, working with cleared defense contractors and supervising investigations into internet crime, money laundering and cryptocurrencies. His profile also notes recognition from the FBI Director for work with the National Cyber Investigative Joint Task Force. A defense lawyer who built those cases knows where they are weak. A lawyer with this focus is typically sought by a company after a data breach, or an executive or professional facing a federal investigation in Alabama. Think you have a case? Start here.
