Michael is a recently Retired Special Agent of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) where he served for 25 years utilizing intelligence to drive results both domestically and around the globe.
Michael served 2.5 years (2018-2021) as DEA’s Liaison to U.S. Special Operations Forces in Kabul, Afghanistan and previously served 2 years (2010-2012) with DEA in Islamabad, Pakistan attacking global drug trafficking networks linked to terrorism. While serving DEA in Afghanistan, Michael led a small operational and intelligence cell charged with investigating ISIS-K, Taliban, and al-Qaeda narco-terrorist financiers throughout the war-torn country. In 2020, his team culminated a 9-month operation dubbed ‘Green Kandahar’ resulting in the arrest of an individual known by Interpol as “The Taliban’s Bank” along with five of his sons. His team uncovered proof of the patriarch having moved money directly for Usama Bin Laden and Taliban founder Mullah Omar and laundered approximately $5 Billion USD over a 20-year period.
Upon transitioning from government service, Michael and his team recruited the same expert intelligence analysts that he worked with in Afghanistan, to provide crucial and long-overdue intelligence services to high-stakes civil litigators and criminal defense attorneys throughout the United States.
Michael is a hands-on leader and looks forward to speaking with attorneys throughout the United States to assist them in becoming the strongest advocate for their clients. Feel free to reach out to Michael directly at michael@barristerintelligence.com.
