Jorge Luis Riera

If your broker or financial adviser lost your money, through bad recommendations, excessive trading, fraud, or mismanagement, you may have legal rights you don't know about. I represent investors in exactly these situations, and I do it from a position that no other Florida securities attorney can match.

Before founding Riera Law, I spent a decade as Senior Counsel at the SEC's Division of Enforcement in Miami, where I investigated the brokers and firms that cause investor harm. I built fraud cases from the ground up, Ponzi schemes, market manipulation, insider trading, and broker misconduct involving billions of dollars and tens of thousands of victims. In 2008, SEC Commissioner Paul S. Atkins, now SEC Chair, publicly commended me by name for my work on a $132 million enforcement action involving 70,000 investors across 64 countries.

I know how fraud happens. I know how broker-dealers think. And I know how to build the strongest possible case against them on your behalf.

As both an attorney and a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), I analyze account statements, reconstruct financial harm, and calculate damages with forensic precision. In securities cases, which are always fundamentally about money, that dual expertise is decisive.

I was appointed by the FINRA Board of Governors to serve on the National Arbitration and Mediation Committee, one of fewer than 25 attorneys in the country to hold this position. I help shape the very rules that govern every FINRA arbitration. When I walk into a FINRA proceeding on your behalf, I know that forum better than almost any attorney on the other side of the table.

What I handle:

Unsuitable investment recommendations. Broker churning and excessive trading. GWG L Bond losses. Overconcentration. Elder financial exploitation. Investment adviser misconduct. SEC Whistleblower submissions. Breach of fiduciary duty. Reg BI violations.

How I work:

Contingency fee, you pay nothing unless I recover for you. Free initial consultation. Every case handled personally by me, not delegated to junior associates. Nationwide representation in FINRA, AAA, and JAMS proceedings. Se habla español.

If something happened to your account that you don't fully understand, call me. The conversation is free and confidential.
