+ EXPERIENCE

Dan joined the firm after serving for seven years as a federal prosecutor with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). From 2012 to 2019, Dan was an Assistant United States Attorney in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY), where he served as Chief of the Complex Frauds and Cybercrime Unit. In that role, Dan oversaw some of the Office’s most significant white-collar, consumer fraud, tax, and cyber prosecutions. During his tenure at SDNY, Dan also served as Deputy Chief of Narcotics, Healthcare Fraud Coordinator, Bankruptcy Fraud Coordinator, and worked closely with the DOJ on significant FCPA and healthcare fraud cases.

From 2019 through 2020, Dan served as Senior Investigative Counsel to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), where he oversaw sensitive national security-related investigations for Congress and helped lead the first impeachment of former President Donald J. Trump. Mr. Noble was one of the authors of the Trump-Ukraine Impeachment Inquiry Report that formed the basis for the Articles of Impeachment later adopted by the U.S. House of Representatives. Mr. Noble also worked with the House General Counsel to draft the briefs filed by the House Managers in the U.S. Senate. During the impeachment trial of President Trump, Mr. Noble served as counsel to the House Managers and helped prepare the House’s case presented in the U.S. Senate.

Dan has experience handling investigations and enforcement actions brought by various law enforcement agencies and regulatory authorities, including the U.S. Department of Justice, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). He also has experience helping companies and individuals respond to Congressional inquiries and investigations.

Dan has successfully tried more than ten federal criminal cases. In 2021, Dan led a trial team that secured a full acquittal for the former CFO of a municipal corporation in Connecticut who was charged by the U.S. Attorney’s Office with embezzlement. Dan has also briefed and argued numerous federal appeals before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and serves on the Criminal Justice Act (CJA) panel that provides representation for indigent defendants in their appeals before that court.

Immediately prior to joining the firm, Dan was a partner in the Litigation Group at Finn Dixon & Herling LLP in Stamford, Connecticut, where his practice focused on white-collar criminal defense, internal investigations, and complex commercial litigation. Prior to his government service, Dan was an associate at WilmerHale in New York, where he represented corporate and individual clients in white-collar criminal cases, SEC and PCAOB enforcement actions, securities class actions, and commercial litigation.
