About Robert
Biography
I have practiced law in the securities area since 1990 and have successfully handled hundreds of cases involving investors who suffered losses in their brokerage accounts as a result of the mismanagement and fraudulent conduct by brokerage firms and their registered representatives. My efforts have resulted in the recovery of millions of dollars in awards and settlements on behalf of investors who were solicited to invest irreplaceable assets into unsuitable investment products.

Sued my investment broker
Bob took my case on a contingency basis, which was important to me because I had lost everything in the bad investments my securities broker had recommended. Bob successfully argued in mediation, and got me a sizable reward. I would absolutely recommend Bob, especially for FINRA related cases.

If you want a no-nonsense lawyer to fight for you...
Bob: Through your hard work and smarts, you secured a good settlement for me. I would never have been able to recover a penny without your help. I thanked you at the time, but just wanted to be sure you know how grateful I remain. C.O., California
