Review Robert Herskovits

Saving grace

Posted by

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 backwards and forewords. Rob is a great lawyer and I recommend him without reservation.

Excellent Attorney

I give Rob Herskovits the strongest possible recommendation. He is an expert with legal matters pertaining to FINRA and the financial services industry. I am grateful that he was able to negotiate a favorable resolution for me with a FINRA disciplinary matter. It was clear to me that the FINRA lawyers respected Rob, and undoubtedly that helped bring about a favorable outcome. I feel fortunate to have had him by my side.

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.

I give Robert my highest recommendation. He and his firm helped me through what could have been an extended and financially troubling time. I am not sure that I could have cleared up a false accusation by a previous client had it not been for Robert and his firm, and for that I am very grateful.
