Michael James Giarrusso

I engaged Mike Giarrusso to represent me in a CFP petition for fitness. Although it was not a particularly complex case, Mike treated it with importance and ultimately achieved a positive outcome for me. I was very anxious about the whole process but felt much better with Mike in my corner. He pre...pared all paperwork, communicated with CFP Board personnel, and thoroughly explained what to expect in the hearing. Mike was very easy to get ahold of and followed my case through the end, making sure all loose ends were tied up. I highly recommend Mr. Giarrusso and would engage him again if any legal needs arise in the future.

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.

It has truly been a pleasure working with Mr. Giarrusso on our claim. From the very beginning, he demonstrated a high level of professionalism, knowledge, and dedication that made a challenging process much easier to navigate. There’s no question that I would turn to him again if the need ever arose.... I would wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need of similar representation, as he truly goes above and beyond for his clients, ensuring they feel supported and confident every step of the way.

I recently received a settlement negotiated by Michael in a FINRA complaint regarding a badly represented REIT. I found Michael to be competent, always available, very thorough in all communications and on top of that very personable. I believe he did a great job of representing my interests and re...solving the complaint. Highly recommended in anything involving FINRA or REIT issues.

I hired Mr. Giarusso to help me recover some significant losses related to two real estate investment trusts (REITS), one of which went bankrupt, and the other of which has continually lost value over the last ten years. From the very beginning he clearly explained every step of what the process wou...ld be. Our successful working relationship always felt like a partnership. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for help in these kind of financial matters.
