Biography
Throughout my legal career, I have focused on advocating for individuals and entities involved in the stock market, such as investors, financial professionals, and companies, on a national scale. I provide legal representation in various matters concerning FINRA Examinations, SEC investigations, and enforcement proceedings. Additionally, I assist individual brokers from leading financial institutions in negotiating contracts, addressing employment termination issues, and navigating U-4 and U-5 matters. In unique cases that involve complex legal issues, I also represent investors. With appearances before arbitration panels and regulatory bodies in 24 states, I have shared my insights through legal columns in industry publications, appearances on CNBC, and speaking engagements at various firms and industry conferences. I am the founder and editor of The Securities Law Home Page (www.seclaw.com), The Securities Law Blog (seclaw.blogspot.com), and The Securities Law Letter, a monthly email newsletter.
