When a Case Reaches Capitol Hill or a Federal Agency.

Media strategy for the public side of a case that reaches Capitol Hill or a federal agency — the hearing record, the regulatory docket, and the press that covers both.

Track Record

29 years, plaintiff-side only — including sustained coverage across congressional hearings and regulatory dockets.

Direct Access

Karen answers every call and text herself.

12-Hour Audit

A written check of the hearing record and public docket before you decide anything.

THE APPROACH

Some matters don’t stay inside the courthouse — they draw a congressional hearing, a regulatory docket, or both. This is public-record work: hearing transcripts, comment periods, and testimony that’s already scheduled, coordinated with counsel so the same facts hold up whether they’re read into a hearing or covered in a courtroom. This is press work, not lobbying: I am not a registered lobbyist, and I do not meet with members or staff on a client’s behalf.

How It Works

Tracks committee hearing calendars, markups, and agency dockets — including Federal Register notices and public comment periods — for anything that touches the case, and briefs counsel the moment something moves.

What You Get

If a client or expert is already scheduled to testify, they’re prepared for that public appearance — plain-language framing, a clear answer to the hardest likely question, and a fact sheet ready for the reporters covering the hearing live.

Why It Matters

A hearing or a public comment period can put a case in front of national reporters who never cover a courtroom — if the story is ready before the gavel comes down, not after.
