His practice focuses on internal corporate investigations, business crime, grand jury investigations, government-contract fraud, public corruption, criminal and civil defense of healthcare providers, and criminal matters involving the Anti-Kickback Statute and the False Claims Act. In addition to his work on the Bentley impeachment investigation, Sharman served as Special Counsel to the House Financial Services Committee in the 1990s for the Whitewater investigation of former President Bill Clinton.
