Kobie Flowers joined Brown, Goldstein & Levy in October 2016, after
managing his own small firm in Washington, DC. He specializes in
representing individuals and businesses in complex criminal and civil
matters. As a member of the Attorney General’s Honors Program, Flowers was
a civil rights prosecutor at the United States Department of Justice for
over four years. There, he conducted complex grand jury investigations
involving fraud, false statements, obstruction of justice, and perjury
charges as aspects of enforcing federal criminal civil rights statutes.
As an assistant federal public defender in Baltimore, Flowers successfully
represented clients charged with federal felonies, including fraud, false
statements, obstruction of justice, bribery, and perjury charges. He won
two-thirds of the cases he defended at trial. Following his government
service, Flowers entered private practice and focused on complex commercial
litigation. As a lawyer at a large international law firm, he assisted
corporate clients with investigations involving the False Claims Act, the
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and federal securities laws.
Kobie has litigated cases in federal and state courts throughout the United
States and in the military commissions at Guantanamo Bay as a criminal
defense lawyer. He taught trial law at the National Criminal Defense
College, the Bronx Defenders, and Harvard Law School. Before starting his
legal career, Kobie served in the United States Peace Corps as a volunteer
in Ivory Coast.
Kobie received his undergraduate from Stanford University and his J.D. from
Georgetown University.
