Fanatstic Representation

I hired Larry Steckman to represent me in NFA investigation & suspention of my securities account .Before hiring him to represent me , I consulted 4 other securities attorney's and once I talked to Larry I knew he was the one that I wanted to represent me . Besides being very knowledgeable about the issue he gained my confidence immediately. I hired him without any hesitation or need to interview other Lawyers . He cleared up the entire matter and had my account released in less then 30 days .

My views on L. Steckman

I have used Mr. Steckman both in the past and presently. Both cases involving civil rico. His knowledge of the subject is encyclopedic. In the first matter the complaint alone was enough to settle the case before filing. He is a man of his word and I would highly recommend him.

Best securities attorney

Larry represented me as a whistle blower in both civil and criminal cases. It was an enormous pleasure working with Larry. I felt 100% that I was in the best hands. Our preparation work and his presence during the interview made me feel at ease. Larry is one of the best securities attorney and litigator in the country. Any client should feel fortunate to have Larry as their attorney.
