Mr. Barnard is a former Assistant United States Attorney and Army officer
who brings more than 20 years of government experience to his practice.
With a focus on litigation and health law, he represents clients in government
investigations and litigation, including qui tams under the False Claims Act and
related administrative proceedings. He also advises clients with regard to
government contracts, cybersecurity, and investigations of alleged procurement
fraud, including those involving parallel criminal investigations.
Prior to entering private practice, Mr. Barnard served in the Civil Division of the
United States Attorney's Office in the District of Maryland. During his tenure there,
he served as counsel for the United States in numerous investigations under the False
Claims Act, focusing on government contract and health care fraud. He also served
as counsel in a wide range of defensive civil litigation for the United States, handling
all aspects of cases through discovery, motions, mediation, trial and appeal. As the
office e-discovery coordinator, Mr. Barnard served on the Department of Justice e-
discovery Working Group, on the District of Maryland Sub-Committee on e-
discovery, and as a lecturer on e-discovery at the National Advocacy Center.
Mr. Barnard's military career is an integral part of his current practice, where he
relies on decades of military service to better understand the unique needs of clients
who regularly interact or do business with the government. Prior to his military
retirement, he was a judge advocate in the Maryland National Guard, where he
supervised legal planning and support for the Guard's domestic operations. Before
joining the Guard, he served on Active Duty, where he litigated criminal and
administrative matters as both government counsel and defense counsel, served as a
Special Assistant United States Attorney, and worked extensively as a legal advisor
for matters related to military intelligence. Mr. Barnard initially served as a military
police officer overseas before being selected for the Army's Judge Advocate
General's Corps.
