Our firm provides a team of attorneys, experts, consultants and others with vast experience in the securities industry. Since 1991 we have represented over 800 investors nationwide to recover their investment losses. We have represented clients in securities arbitration at the NASD, NYSE and the American Arbitration Association.
Our firm also handles enforcement and disciplinary hearings at the SEC as well as reparations hearings at the National Futures Association and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Collectively, our clients have recovered tens of millions of dollars through our assistance and representation in settlement negotiations, mediations, arbitrations and litigation.
The firm's practice focuses principally on the representation of brokerage customers. We also represent stockbrokers and brokerage firms in securities disputes; primarily in mediations, NASD and NYSE arbitrations. Our representation of customers relates to abuses such as unsuitable recommendations, excessive trading (commonly referred to as churning), misrepresentation, unauthorized trading, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and failure to supervise.
