National Advocacy Connections
While Hakes Advocacy specializes in local and state issues, we also assist clients in connecting with nationally acclaimed lobbying professionals for select high-level federal matters. If you’re in need of strategic representation or influence in Washington, we can help guide you to the right team.
Federal Pardons & Commutations
Navigating the process of applying for a federal pardon or sentence commutation is highly political, complex, and time-sensitive. We help individuals — often with high-profile cases or unjust sentencing — connect with top-level federal lobbyists who specialize in White House and DOJ-facing influence strategies. Whether you’re seeking clemency, sentence relief, or a second chance, we know who can help.

For brokers, traders, or executives under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission, navigating federal scrutiny requires precision and political awareness. We coordinate with specialized legal-political advocates who understand the language of compliance, enforcement actions, and behind-the-scenes resolution pathways at the federal level.

Whether you’re seeking access to federal grants, agency-specific funds, or looking to secure government contracts, the process is competitive, opaque, and political. We connect businesses, nonprofits, and municipalities with proven federal advocates who know how to present, pitch, and position your proposal to the right gatekeepers.
