"I have known attorney Marnie Lambert throughout our years of representing investors who have been the subject of Wall Street misconduct. While Marnie and I have not yet had a chance to work together, as members of the Public Investors Arbitration Bar Association (PIABA), we frequently share thoughts, strategies and research to help each other obtain the best results for our clients against unscrupulous Wall Street stockbrokers, financial advisors and brokerage firms.
