Walt Green

Phelps Dunbar LLP

Walt Green focuses his practice on cybersecurity, white collar criminal defense and governmental investigations, and litigation. Mr. Green was the United States Attorney for the Middle District of Louisiana and the Executive Director for the National Center For Disaster Fraud from 2013-2017.

He retired from the United States Department of Justice with over 20 years of federal experience. Additionally, Mr. Green has served in the United States Marine Corps for over 29 years and currently holds the rank of Colonel.

Since entering private practice, Mr. Green has been a sought after speaker and commentator on fraud, cybersecurity and data privacy issues, in BBC News, The Economist, Washington Post, USA Today, CNN Money, and the Associated Press.

Mr. Green earned a spot on the National Law Journal’s 2017 Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Trailblazer’s list, a list which highlights the top 25 attorneys who have helped make a difference in the fight against criminal cyber activity.

As the United States Attorney, Mr. Green served as the chief federal law enforcement officer over nine parishes. In this capacity, he was responsible for prosecuting federal crimes including crimes related to terrorism, public corruption, cyber-crimes, health care fraud, financial crimes, human trafficking, child exploitation and drug trafficking networks.

Mr. Green also defended the United States in civil cases, collected debts owed to the United States and chaired the United States Attorney General’s Advisory Council’s Service Members and Veterans Working Group.

Mr. Green created and led the Middle District of Louisiana’s innovative cybersecurity initiative: a comprehensive effort to increase awareness of cyber issues, better protect potential victims in the district and take a more aggressive approach for initiating criminal investigations and prosecutions of cyber-crimes.

Through his leadership, Mr. Green developed new relationships among the Middle District’s federal, state and local law enforcement partners; established a new law enforcement working group, whose goal is to proactively address and combat cyber threats; and engaged in outreach with the business community to raise awareness of cyber-crime issues. Cumulatively, these efforts resulted in a significant increase in the number of cyber related investigations conducted by his office.

During his tenure as the United States Attorney, Mr. Green oversaw his office’s efforts in the successful health care fraud initiative. This initiative resulted in dozens of lengthy prisons sentences and obtained judgements and restitution orders totaling tens of millions of dollars.

Mr. Green led his civil division in using the civil process to combat healthcare fraud, protect the interests of the United States, forfeit criminal proceeds, and collect millions of dollars in criminal and civil judgements for the victims of crime, the U.S. Treasury and various agencies.
