With over a decade of experience prosecuting high-stakes antitrust violations for the U.S. Department of Justice, Carrie is a tenacious advocate for those harmed by corporate misconduct and collusion.
Before joining DiCello Levitt, Carrie served for 13 years as a trial attorney in the DOJ’s Antitrust Division, including more than two years as Assistant Chief of its New York office, where she led investigations and prosecutions involving price-fixing, bid-rigging, and market allocation conspiracies.

Her extensive trial experience has sharpened her ability to navigate the most intricate antitrust disputes, making her a formidable litigator in the courtroom.
