Chief Executive Officer

Stephen was my securities lawyer, when I was rasing money for an internet company I founded in 1998; which we successfully sold in June of 2000. In 2003 I retained Stephen to strategize and file all SEC documents on my behalf in a proxy contest election (which I won). Since 2003 he has handled all th...e securities work for my firm, including a partial self tender offer and defending two proxy contest against my company. He has attended every board meeting of my company in the past 11 years (50+); never missing one of them. Stephen has my highest recommendation.

  • 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.
