Mike Sinisi

I’m a licensed attorney and Senior Investigator with nearly a decade at the U.S. Department of Labor (EBSA), conducting complex civil and criminal financial investigations into employee benefit plans and their service providers under ERISA and related regulations. I partner across the DOL’s Office of the Solicitor, DOJ, SEC, IRS, federal OIGs, and state law enforcement to carry matters from inception through voluntary compliance, civil litigation, or criminal prosecution.

I distinguish my work by translating technical statutory conclusions into plain-language, actionable guidance that regulators, plan fiduciaries, and fellow investigators can rely on—while identifying cross-jurisdictional issues and coordinating interpretations to resolve policy conflicts. I also build repeatable investigative frameworks and have advanced an AI-powered customer service voice assistant using AWS Bedrock and Amazon Lex with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to reduce time spent on routine questions; it was elevated for potential agency-wide implementation.
