To give you some idea about Nicola, I spoke with the person who hired her at the Department, former Principal DeputyChief of the Fraud Section, and now a partner at Mintz Levin, Paul Pelletier.
He was an official with the United States Department of Justice for 13 years before entering private practice in 1992, serving as the DeputyChief of the Criminal Division's Public Integrity Section during his last three years.
