Mark J. Hulkower, 53, a former federal prosecutor and later a leading white collar criminal defense attorney, died February 5, 2011, at Capital Hospice in Arlington, Virginia. He had colon cancer.
Hulkower was a partner at the Washington, D.C. law firm Steptoe & Johnson, where he was head of the firm’s white collar criminal defense practice group. Previously, Hulkower served as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia from 1989 to 1995.
Hulkower’s partner at Steptoe, Reid Weingarten, said “Mark was the best trial lawyer I’ve ever seen. He was a brilliant examiner and persuasive advocate. He was the consummate professional, and an even better person.”
