Libby Hoopes Brooks

LibbyHoopes regularly consults with corporations and executives confronting potential crises that require a guiding hand. In resolving these situations, LibbyHoopes' collective experience as, and with, government officials, and our relationships these officials and with members of the media are important tools at our disposal. We get these calls be... cause we get results for our clients. The ability to work with the media in a case often transforms the result for a client. The lawyers at LibbyHoopes have significant experience with both electronic and print media in investigations, indictments and litigation. Contrary to conventional wisdom, on many occasions we have advocated that our client talk with the press - usually with successful and satisfying results. Silence, or "no comment" may be the prudent course in other cases. There is no formula here; each case requires a carefully tailored strategy based on its own circumstances and advancing the objectives of our client. When appropriate, we work together with top public relations professionals to chart the best strategy. We will not make public relations decisions out of fear, inexperience or inaction.
