Sol Wisenberg brings four decades of experience as lead counsel in complex federal white-collar investigations and jury trials. His practice focuses on representing individuals and businesses facing federal criminal, regulatory, and civil exposure, including parallel proceedings, fraud-related charges, and federal sentencing.
A significant portion of Sol’s work is devoted to helping clients avoid indictment by limiting criminal exposure during government investigations, civil litigation, and high-stakes business matters. He is known for guiding clients through sensitive situations with strategic clarity and an eye toward preventing missteps before they escalate.
Sol has been in private practice since 1999 and is consistently recognized by Best Lawyers in America, Chambers, and Super Lawyers. From 1987 to 1997, he served as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Eastern District of North Carolina and the Western District of Texas, where he specialized in white-collar cases. In San Antonio, he was Chief of the Financial Institution Fraud Unit and Health Care Fraud Coordinator. He concluded his federal prosecutorial career as Deputy Independent Counsel in the Whitewater–Lewinsky Investigation, participating in the grand jury questioning of former President Clinton. Sol has first-chaired approximately 30 federal criminal jury trials.
He is the primary author of White Collar Crime: Securities Fraud, published by West Thomson Reuters, and previously served for many years as a Contributing Editor to the White Collar Crime Prof Blog. He is also a Fox News Contributor, commenting on constitutional and criminal law issues.
Born and raised in Houston, Sol’s practice is nationwide, with substantial work in the DC, Virginia, and the Maryland region. After living and working in the DC metro area from 1999 to 2016, he moved to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and returned to Houston in 2022.
