The Best, Hands Down

I hired Niel and his team to represent me for expungement of a baseless claim on my advisor record. Kyle Johnson was my main attorney, and he did an absolutely fantastic job! Thorough, diligent, persistent -- with great knowledge of the most optimal steps to take for expungement. Got it done swiftly,... too. I was blessed to get to know, Kyle, Niel, Rob and Alex, and would highly recommend their team for anyone else needing their expertise and services!

Expert in Securities Litigation

Niel represented us in a FINRA arbitration to pursue our securities claims against one of the largest financial firms in the world. The claims made in the case were for unauthorized trading, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, negligence, elder exploitation, fraud, unsuitability, failure t...o supervise and violation of state securities laws. After a five-year fight involving the production of almost 300,000 pages of documents, numerous depositions and many pre-trial motions, briefs and hearings in front of the arbitration panel, the case was settled after two weeks of arbitration (with an anticipated four or five more weeks of arbitration remaining) for an amount well in excess of $6,000,000. Niel’s vast knowledge of securities law coupled with his past industry experience as general counsel for a large securities firm made Niel uniquely qualified to represent us in this complex litigation. He is a talented and experienced litigator with the tenacity to zealously pursue the claims of his client to a final resolution while always conducting himself in a professional manner. I would recommend Niel and his partners, Rob and Kyle, to anyone pursuing a claim involving securities and investment fraud without hesitation.

Absolutely Fantastic

I hired Niel and his associates to represent me in a FINRA arbitration against an $8 trillion dollar investment firm that accused me of breaking my non-solicit agreement after I was terminated. After a year and a half of preparation, we entered into a 3 week arbitration last summer. The panel found ...no wrongdoing on my part and denied all claims in there entirety. Niel and Kyle Johnson (his partner) are incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and detail oriented in their approach. It became clear to me on day one of the arbitration that the Plaintiffs hired attorneys (who bring dozens and dozens of these type of cases against former employees on behalf of this $8 trillion dollar broker-dealer) were no match for Niel and Kyle. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who is considering a case or is need of representation for something they are being falsely accused of.

Great representation and great result.

Neil and his team worked tirelessly for months to help us get our financial life back on track. Without going into detail about our case and the resulting award, I can say that Neil took a case that other attorneys viewed as having little chance of substantial recovery and returned a result that exce...eded our hopes. Our case took over a year to resolve and during that time Neil and his team ( Kyle and Rob) kept us informed and involved us in every phase of the exhausting process. We needed a lot of hand holding and explanation and they delivered both with grace and patience. We were blessed when we were guided to Neil. I trust him and I would recommend him to anyone needing his expertise and services.
