Chelsea focuses her practice on complex commercial litigation, with an emphasis on government investigations and litigation primarily under the federal False Claims Act (FCA). She has experience defending clients in both federal and state FCA litigation, government investigations, as well as conducting internal investigations on behalf of defense contractors and corporations.
She has represented clients in all phases of action under the FCA, from responding to civil investigative demands and administrative subpoenas to representing clients in qui tam lawsuits and direct actions.

Additionally, she serves as a mentor to local law students through the Federal Bar Association.
