Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., has tapped two high-powered Washington, D.C.-based attorneys who have previously represented elected officials at the highest echelon of American politics.
Amid dueling federal investigations — one for immigration fraud and another for financial disclosure discrepancies — the embattled Somali-born lawmaker hired Amy Jeffress and Joshua Matz, according to a CBS report. Both are partners at Hecker Fink LLP.
The attorneys have in the past represented Democrat clients and taken on left-leaning cases especially those taking aim at President Donald Trump, his administration and his supporters.
Amy Jeffress
Jeffress is a former federal prosecutor whose biography says she tried more than 40 cases during a decade in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the District of Columbia, where she was chief of the National Security Section. She has also been a Department of Justice (DOJ) attaché.

Matz is also a partner at Hecker Fink. He graduated from Harvard Law and clerked for former Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy.

PEOPLE. Listen to me! Doesn’t matter what these high priced lawyers do. SOMEBODY’s gonna get a bill, a pretty big one at that.
When it’s over we’re gonna be in good shape. She’s gotta lotta explainin to do-the more the better. Just sit back and enjoy the popcorn. This is not a drama. It’s more like slapstick-only if you can dig it.

These attorneys are with Hecker Fink LLP, which was started in 2017 by Roberta Kaplan who was E. Jeanne Carroll’s lawyer. She left the firm in 2024, likely after getting a big payout for her representation in the case, and opened Kaplan Martin LLP, a premier New York–based boutique litigation and strategic advisory firm.
I recommend they have her pay up front. Wait, no I don’t.
