    Represent investors defrauded by stock brokers and brokerage firms in FINRA arbitrations. Common claims are suitability, misrepresentation, fraud, asset allocation, lack of due diligence and product related cases. Represent stock brokers and investment professionals in malpractice matters, employment disputes, and expungement cases.

    25 years, 1,000 cases

After graduating from the University of Southern California, where I earned a B.S. degree in Finance, I worked for Shearson Lehman Brothers as a licensed registered representative.  After law school, I worked as an assistant district attorney in Brooklyn, New York.  

After law school, I worked as an assistant district attorney in Brooklyn, New York.  Working in the DA's office gave me invaluable courtroom skills and experience.  From arraignments, grand jury, conducting on-site investigations, drafting search warrants, these indelible skills benefited me when I litigated cases in the private sector.

In the late 1990s, I worked at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter representing the firm from allegations of stockbroker misconduct. 

Since 2000, I have been in private practice representing investors defrauded by stockbrokers and brokerage firms.  Many times, stockbrokers place their interest above their clients and other times brokerage companies fail to conduct proper due diligence on products before putting the items on their sales platform.

What sets me apart from other lawyers is not only I know the law, but I know the customs and practices in the securities industry which are invaluable when advocating on a client's behalf.

Steady and Reliable
David represented me in a FINRA case v. CITI. From the start of the process David was honest, upfront and informative. He guided through a very emotional and difficult time. He told me the pros/cons of every scenario. David was prepared and educated me on every step of the process. I would certainly recommend David 100%. He is a wonderful person and excellent lawyer.
