ANDREW GOETZ JOINS MILLER JOHNSON’S DETROIT OFFICE

DETROIT, Mich., April 25, 2024 – Andrew C. Goetz has joined Miller Johnson as a Member in the firm’s Detroit office. Goetz is an experienced litigator and investigations attorney who was most recently at the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan, where he served as the Appellate Chief and part of the executive team. Goetz’s hiring marks Miller Johnson’s fifth attorney to join the firm’s Southeast Michigan team this year and 22nd attorney working out of the Detroit hub.

“Andrew brings a wealth of knowledge and a seasoned skillset to our Litigation practice that he developed over the years in the U.S. Attorney’s office working on cases of federal law, as well as in private practice in Washington, D.C.” said Fadwa A. Hammoud, Managing Member of Miller Johnson’s Detroit office. “His work on investigative matters, litigation strategy, and the appellate process are valuable assets for our clients engaged in court proceedings or facing potential lawsuits.”

As Appellate Chief, Goetz supervised all of the United States Attorney’s Office’s civil and criminal appellate litigation before the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, and he guided the office in resolving many of its most complex or sensitive legal questions. He also previously served as a Senior Litigation Counsel and Deputy Appellate Chief there, advising the office on indictment reviews and trial strategy and litigating some of its most prominent appeals. Among his other litigation experience there, Goetz served as the lead appellate attorney on the team that prosecuted and convicted former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick on public-corruption charges.

While in private practice at a large international law firm in the Nation’s Capital, Goetz represented financial institutions and corporate clients on internal investigations, white collar and regulatory defense, and corporate compliance. His practice covered a range of subject areas, including alleged accounting and securities fraud, other accusations of malfeasance or whistleblower complaints, and investigations under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

“I am excited about serving clients throughout Michigan in navigating their most difficult and critical legal issues,” said Goetz. “Working on behalf of our region’s largest employers, while collaborating with such a talented group of attorneys at a firm as highly regarded as Miller Johnson, is attractive as I join the firm’s Detroit office.”

Goetz was awarded his J.D., summa cum laude, from the University of Michigan Law School. He earned a B.S in Chemistry and a B.A in Political Science, both with high honors, from Michigan State University. From 2007 to 2008, Goetz served as a law clerk to the Honorable Mary Beck Briscoe on the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.
