I handle securities matters for individual investors nationwide. I've been trained as defense lawyer under the tutelage of Richard L. Martens, Esq., a nationally well-known and respected defense lawyer. Our clients included, but was not limited to, major broker-dealer firms, such as Merrill Lynch, UBS, Smith Barney, Credit Suisse and Lehman Brothers. Following the Financial Crisis and the emergence of high-profile ponzi schemes, such as Madoff (which occurred in my hometown), coupled with Mr. Martens' retirement, the focus of my practice shifted from representing major broker-dealer clients to individual investors. I was also a broker for a couple of years prior to attending law school.
My employment practice primarily relates to matters in Florida, where I consult on HR issues, such as best practices and policy manual drafting. When necessary, I also litigate employment matters, typically on the employer's behalf. However, I also selectively represent individuals as well.

My frustration had been growing in thinking I had no recourse against an unscrupulous broker who had taken advantage of me and husband. I found Matt Thibault when investigating the questionable stock recommended by my (then) broker. Ironically, there was a link on their website to Matt's firm for vic...

"I had the pleasure of working with Matt when I was the Chair of the Palm Beach County Bar's business litigation continuing legal education committee. In May 2016, Matt presented a very well prepared and extremely well received presentation on securities arbitration. Through the manner in which he presented the materials, myself and all those who attended were able to see that he knows his craft and is experienced and well-versed in securities arbitration. As a consequence of my interaction with Matt Thibaut, I would recommend him to anyone with legal issues involving stock brokers, investments, or securities fraud."
