Experienced Professional

We hired Ryan Bakhtiari to represent us in a Finra arbitration. His experience and professionalism showed right from the start. We were made to feel comfortable with a process that we had been unfamiliar with, he guided us at each step of the way and he was able to achieve a result that other attorne...ys had told us would be impossible. We are indebted to Ryan and his team for their recovery of our investment losses!
