About John
Biography
My career has been strongly devoted to serving and protecting individuals in financial and securities matters, including stock broker fraud, insurance fraud, consumer fraud, securities litigation, breach of fiduciary duty, and other financial frauds. I, myself, was a successful stock broker for a national firm. I entered law to continue serving investors who were defrauded by individual and industry practices that I found unconscionable. Over fifteen years I have been practicing law in securities matters before NASD arbitration panels as well as state and federal courts.

John was very patient, worked through a lot of difficulties for us.
John was great in helping assist in a fraud case for us. Through the whole process, a lot of roadblocks were put in place by the responsible parties, but John was able to overcome them. Through the whole process, he was very good at making sure he or one of his partners were in touch with us, so we...

Good job
Under the circumstances, the outcome of this case was probably as good as it could be. John's communication with me throughout the case was excellent. I was kept apprised of all developments. His knowledge of the options, perspectives and legal ramifications is excellent. As an attorney who has d...

Excellent Attorney
John was very skilled, patient, and persistent in helping us with a default judgement that was placed against us. He handled himself with a professional manner throughout the entire process in spite of at times an irrational out of control plaintiff. I would highly recommend his services to anyone...

"I endorse this lawyer."

Relationship: Worked together on matter
"Law is actually John’s second career. His first career was as a stock broker for a large national firm. John is able to draw upon this experience and combine it with his 20 years of experience as a securities lawyer, which makes him a “one of a kind” attorney in his field. He has gone up against some of the biggest names in the securities industry while representing investors and has also defended brokers who find themselves faced with a lawsuit. This experience on both sides of litigation is an incredible asset to his clients. I have known John to be smart, thoughtful and incredibly driven – qualities which make him an excellent advocate for his clients and their cause. In short, I recommend John without hesitation as an absolutely tremendous lawyer in the field of securities litigation."
