TOP Form U5 expungement

I could not be happier with the legal services provided by Rob Herskovits. In my opinion, he is the best lawyer in regard to Form U5 expungement. I highly recommend him.

Great experience

Rob Herskovits and his team did an amazing job on an NFA arbitration for me. Rob is an outstanding financial services attorney and I recommend Herskovits PLLC for any sort of litigation or arbitration related to that industry.

Posted by Amy | December 07, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Arbitration

Saving grace

I am thankful that Rob Herskovits was my lawyer. He ran circles around Wells Fargo at a FINRA arbitration and won the case for me, and even got me an award of attorneys’ fees, which I understand rarely happens. Rob is a true expert at FINRA’s rules and he knows the financial services industry backw...ards and forewords. Rob is a great lawyer and I recommend him without reservation.

Seasoned Securities Lawyer

Rob has handled customer matters (mediations and arbitrations) as well as regulatory matters for my firm. He is very knowledgeable about the process, and can explain the details in layman's terms. Rob presented our case very well and achieved successful results in every engagement.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
