Criminal Law/Expert Profile

Expertise

Kevin M. Tamez serves as one of the most senior and experienced consultants at The MPM Group, Inc. During more than 27 years of both state and federal law enforcement experience, Mr. Tamez held supervisory roles with state law enforcement as well as senior management positions with the U.S. Department of Justice - serving in both domestic as well as foreign posts. In addition to his extensive foreign operational experience, Mr. Tamez is a court adjudicated expert in most Title 18 and Title 21 complex criminal, undercover, and electronic (Title III) intercept investigations. As a senior manager, he is also an authority in most government administrative matters to include Human Resource and Workers’ Compensation issues. Ironically, a one-time conviction for aberrant “white-collar” misconduct late in Mr. Tamez’s otherwise illustrious law enforcement career placed him in a situation wherein he became intimately familiar with the inner-workings of the U.S. Bureau of Prisons (BOP) as well as their programs and operating procedures. Already adjudicated an expert witness in myriad state/federal criminal investigative matters, Mr. Tamez has now broadened his already considerable expertise by authoring various legal reference and advocacy manuals. Mr. Tamez is frequently sought after for his expertise in counseling and preparing convicted law enforcement personnel, politicians, and other “celebrities” for reporting to a federal penal facility. Consequently, Mr. Tamez is an authority in criminal investigations, federal/state prosecution, sentencing mitigation and all facets of state/federal prison matters
