Jeffrey H. Sloman served as the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida from May 2009 until May 2010. As the chief federal law enforcement officer in South Florida, he led the federal effort to protect the safety and security of more than six million people. He focused on national security, organized crime, public corruption, and a wide variety of white-collar criminal offenses including health care fraud, securities fraud, mortgage fraud, and money laundering. Under his leadership, the U.S. Attorney's Office achieved a record number of convictions, including the prosecution of the largest Ponzi scheme in Florida history, multiple elected public officials, numerous Medicare and bank fraud offenses, and high-ranking members of international organized criminal organizations.
Prior to being sworn in as U.S. Attorney, Jeff distinguished himself as a career federal prosecutor, serving as the First Assistant U.S. Attorney and Chief of the Criminal Division, the number two and three positions in one of the largest U.S. Attorney's Offices in the nation. During his 20-year career with the Department of Justice, Mr. Sloman tried nearly 50 criminal cases to verdict. The Department of Justice honored him twice with its "Director's Award" for Superior Performance as an Assistant United States Attorney: first in 1997, and again in 2003 for the first post-September 11, 2001 prosecution of two radical Islamic fundamentalists whose goal was to bomb various South Florida installations on behalf of Osama bin Laden.
Since leaving the U.S. Attorney's Office in 2010, Jeff has represented clients in federal criminal investigations involving insurance and health care fraud, and has tried and won several multi-million dollar jury verdicts. In 2014, Jeff was recognized for winning two significant jury trials: he was awarded "Most Effective Lawyer" by the Daily Business Review for winning a $5 million "first-of-a-kind" verdict against Philip Morris USA, Inc. in Cuculino v. Philip Morris USA, Inc., and a few months later won a $1.3 million verdict against G4S Secure Solutions, USA, Inc. for a woman secretly videotaped by a Peeping Tom security guard.
A frequent teacher and lecturer, Jeff has provided legal commentary for local and national networks, including CNBC's American Greed ("Scott Rothstein, $1.2 Billion Scam: Ft. Frauderdale") and ABC's Nightline ("Medicare Fraud Costs Taxpayers More Than $60 Billion Each Year").
