About David

Learn David’s areas of practice.

I am an attorney who concentrates on representing investors who lost money in investments, whether it was through neglient advice of an advisor, or through fraud and theft.  While we primarily handle cases in FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) arbitration, we also handle claims before the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services (JAMS). 


Our attorneys have represented over one thousand investors in state and federal court.  I am licensed to practice in the States of Washington, Illinois, and Florida.  I am also licensed in the Western District of Washington, the Northern District of Illinois, the Central District of Illinois, the District of Colorado, and the Seventh Circuit Court of appeals.

 

Many investors are unaware that they can sue their financial advisor or broker if the broker makes investment recommendations to them that are not suitable for the investor's risk tolerance, investment objectives, or financial resources like net worth and income.  If your advisor recommended an investment that does not match your wants and needs, your advisor and his firm could potentially be liable to you.  Moreover, your financial advisor can also be liable for making misrepresentations about the risks and characteristics of an investment or security to you. 

 

In addition to representing aggrieved or defrauded investors, we also represent clients who:

a) need a new will or other estate planning documents,

b) are looking to set up a new business entity (such as corporations, LLCs, and partnerships),

c) are interested in trademarking or copyrighting an idea of theirs, or

d) seek advice for other areas of law.

 

Our firm has offices in the Seattle area and Denver.  Please call us at or to set up an appointment.

Excellent sservice
David was helpful in solving my case. In fact, I could not have done this without his expert legal knowledge. He assisted me with all necessary paperwork. He was friendly and I highly recommend him. Many thanks to David.

Respectful
David was successful in getting me a settlement in my case. Working with him exceeded all expectations. The main thing that comes to mind is how respectful David was with me. He responded quickly to my questions and concerns, and always returned phone calls and emails promptly. I highly recommended David!

Clear advice from an experienced pro
We consulted with David on a matter regarding mistakes made by our investment advisor. His advice was practical and cogent, helping us understand which issues to prioritize, and what the decision points should be on whether or not to litigate. His advice reflected both strong experience and an ethical basis -- what more can you ask for in a lawyer?

Extremely pleased with Mr. Neuman's representation
David recently represented me in a rather complex matter. I could not be more pleased with his help and advice. I have some experience with managing legal matters, and he was spot-on every time. He went out of his way to offer suggestions, was very balanced in his approach and always considered the client first. I have no reservations in recommending him, at all. He also kept me informed at all times and responded quickly.

Won my FINRA arbitration lawsuit
From the moment I signed up with David Neuman and his team, I was very comfortable that I was is in the best hands. Even though we were on opposite coasts and my partner was overseas, they were very capable of communicating with us and had both my partner and I understand the law from the ground up. They were extremely professional, well organized and well versed in their presentation during the trial. David was extremely understanding of our situation and definitely made us feel comfortable during the whole process. On top of everything professional, David and I were able to sit and discuss personal life during so much of the trial.

Great lawyer
David was professional in the way he went about his business, was extremely persistent for our cause until obtaining a resolution, and was very informative throughout the entire process. He provided updates periodically and wasted no time taking action when the opportunity presented itself. I'd recommend him to anyone.
