Joe Hayden a member of Pashman Stein Walder Hayden’s Criminal Defense and Governmental and Internal Investigations Group was quoted in the NJ.com article, “In Shocking Move, Feds Drop all Charges Against Sen. Bob Menendez.” The article reports on the decision of the U.S. Justice Department to drop its case against U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez.
