Thaddeus (Ted) Glotfelty is a seasoned attorney with deep expertise in federal and internal investigations, compliance counseling, risk mitigation, and proactive defense strategies. After nearly two decades spanning both private practice and public service—including as the head of investigations at the U.S. AbilityOne Commission Office of Inspector General (OIG)—Ted founded Glotfelty PLLC to fill a critical gap in the AbilityOne community: access to high-quality legal services tailored to its unique regulatory environment. Drawing on his training as a United States special agent and legal expertise in investigations and business law, Ted now brings practical, informed legal solutions to help the AbilityOne community strengthen compliance, protect their federal contracts, and navigate the increasingly complex regulatory landscape.  

​

At AbilityOne OIG, Ted led investigations into False Claims Act violations, federal contracting fraud, and program compliance issues involving billions of dollars in federal set-aside contracts. As the only head of investigations at AbilityOne with the combined skill sets of attorney and special agent, he is uniquely positioned to help NPAs navigate through the federal investigative process, to respond to enforcement actions, and to proactively avoid the pitfalls that lead to costly civil and criminal exposure.  

​

Following his federal career, Ted served as counsel at a boutique law firm focused on corporate governance, securities compliance, and mergers and acquisitions. Earlier in his career, Ted served as the head of investigations for a financial regulator, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, managing multi-agency civil and criminal fraud cases. He also served as a senior trial attorney in the Division of Enforcement, focusing on regulatory enforcement and complex financial litigation.

Ted holds a J.D. from George Mason Law School, an M.A. in Economics from George Mason University, and a B.A. from James Madison University. He is also a graduate with honors from the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center’s special agent program.
