Excellent Representation - CFP Board Matter

I Michael about 4 months ago to assist me with a CFP Board investigation and also provide counsel on how to engage my current firm in a dialogue related to the matter. He worked tirelessly on my behalf and helped me navigate the process and achieve a very favorable outcome. I couldn't be more pleased... with Michael's follow through, attention to detail, and prompt attention to my needs even if it meant scheduling time to go over things after hours and on the weekend.

Highly Recommend

Recently, I hired Michael to represent me during a CFP Board investigation. While other attorneys didn’t even respond to my initial outreach, Michael was prompt in his initial and subsequent communications. He helped me navigate the process and took the time to understand the details of my situation.... In the end, he was able to achieve the favorable outcome I was hoping for.

Excellent Attorney

Michael helped me with a CFP inquiry. Michael guided me through the process and helped me craft a response that resulted in the CFP board dismissing my case. Michael was honest, thoughtful, and easy to get a hold of. I would definitely recommend him

U 5 disclosure and CFP board inquiry

I recently hired Michael to represent me after I left a large broker-dealer to help ensure that my U5 disclosure was accurate and also sought his assistance on a related CFP Board issue. He was able to add value and help me work with compliance departments, and langue to use in interviews, positionin...g the issue in a positive way. I’m very happy with the outcomes. I would strongly recommend his services.

Exceeds expectations across all fronts

I recently hired Michael to represent me following my separation from a major brokerage firm, and I cannot speak highly enough of his services. He skillfully negotiated the terms of my U5 disclosure with my former employer and provided invaluable guidance throughout a CFP Board inquiry. Thanks in lar...ge part to his expertise and counsel, I was able to secure employment with another broker-dealer. Michael’s responsiveness, professionalism, and deep understanding of the regulatory landscape were apparent from day one. He brought a sense of clarity and peace of mind during a particularly stressful chapter of my career. The investment in his services paid off many times over. I would recommend him without hesitation to any financial professional navigating similar challenges.
