@sharellreddin
Results-driven attorney with federal regulatory expertise and experience navigating complex legal and national security matters.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven attorney who passed the New York Bar Exam in July 2024, qualifying for practice in any UBE jurisdiction. At the Department of Justice (Bureau of Prisons) as an Honors Attorney, I coordinated with the U.S. Attorney’s Office and BOP leadership, drafted a Motion to Dismiss in a $100 million FTCA action, analyzed First Step Act eligibility, and prepared regulatory reports for a presidential transition.
I bring deep expertise in federal statutes, FAR, NEPA, FOIA/Privacy Act, and national-security-related regulations, with proven experience drafting appellate briefs, reviewing government contracts, and supporting trial preparation. I combine rigorous legal research, courtroom preparedness, and a commitment to safeguarding constitutional rights to deliver strategic, compliance-focused legal solutions.
