Upstanding!
I had a problem with a dishonorable Financial Adviser! So I contacted Mr. Guiliano to see what I could do. Nick said I can't very well charge you for something you can do on your own! Then proceeded to tell me what to do. Because of the short amount of time and my untrustworthy financial adviser's no...

"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Nick is highly knowledgeable and skilled in representing investors in disputes with brokers, particularly those argued in FINRA arbitrations. He is exceptional in this practice area. I have worked with him on such matters so I know this from personal experience."
Brian Mahany
Securities and investment fraud lawyer | Feb 10
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"We have worked with Nick for many years. I have known him since law school and began referring all my investment fraud clients to him about 10 years ago. They love him and his work. Great results, decades of experience, great communications skills... all true but that doesn't fully capture Nick's skills. The best endorsement I can give is to say that I would recommend him to my family if they lost money to a bad stockbroker or investment fraud."
John Roberts
Securities and investment fraud lawyer | Feb 10
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"Attorney Guiliano is an authority on securities law and investment fraud. In cases where unsuitable investments have caused harm to people who are elderly or under a disability, he has been prompt, thorough and realistic in investigating and obtaining recovery. He is able to explain in plain language the procedures and range of possible outcomes in this highly specialized field of law, so that our clients can make informed decisions in pursuit and settlement of their claims."
"I have worked with Mr. Guiliano as an adversary on several occasions and each time he has practiced with the utmost skill and professionalism."
