He also served as the lead Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force attorney for two years, and from 1999 to 2006, prosecuted virtually every type of criminal case with a concentration on public corruption, asset forfeiture, money laundering, and other white-collar crimes.
In 2002, Mr. Van Hook received the Executive Office of U.S. Attorneys Director’s Award for Superior Performance as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the prosecution of a United States national who contracted for the murder of his wife in Haiti.
