Securities and Investment Fraud 70%

Since the enactment of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act ("PSLRA"), I have represented hundreds of investors, officers and directors and companies in securities actions. I represent both plaintiffs and defendants in securities actions and also in derivative litigation. Finally, I've represented scores of individuals and companies in government and private investigations relating to securities matters.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
