As an Assistant U.S. Attorney for 20 years, she acquired significant experience in appellate practice, as well as in civil, and criminal litigation. She represented most of the major federal agencies in court. Her broad-ranging civil experience includes medical malpractice, employment discrimination, civil rights, and torts. Her criminal experience includes prosecuting hundreds of crimes such as money laundering, RICO, mail fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud, and immigration violations. After 9/11, she relocated to Washington, D.C. where she was selected for a special assignment to work on terrorism investigations and frequently appeared before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. She taught courses at two recognized law schools and has published scholarly articles.

Becky's work has been recognized with numerous Department of Justice awards and the U.S. State Department's Special Agent Award. She was also selected as an Excellence in Government Fellow.
