PRACTICE AREA · 06 — SPECIALIST LITIGATION

Securities & Investor Fraud.

Investor-fraud, private-placement, and broker-dealer disputes, anchored by the principal's Georgetown LL.M. in Securities and Financial Regulation.

Scope.

The firm represents investors and issuers in private-placement and broker-dealer matters — Regulation D placement disputes, suitability claims, breach of fiduciary duty in advisory accounts, and selective securities-fraud actions where the underlying facts warrant. The principal holds an LL.M. in Securities and Financial Regulation from Georgetown University Law Center.

FINRA arbitration is a frequent venue. The firm does not handle high-volume class actions and does not represent issuers in public-offering matters.

Representative Engagements.

  • Regulation D private-placement investor-fraud action in federal court.
  • FINRA arbitration on behalf of a retail investor against a registered broker-dealer.
  • Suitability and breach-of-fiduciary-duty matter involving an advisory-account portfolio.

How engagements proceed.

Engagements begin with a confidential intake conducted personally by the principal. A brief written matter summary follows. Where the firm proceeds, the engagement letter sets a defined initial scope — typically through pleadings or early discovery — with milestones at which fee and strategy are jointly reassessed.

The firm communicates by direct phone and email. Document exchange is conducted through encrypted channels. Inquiries receive a substantive response within one business day.

Fee arrangements.

The firm offers hourly representation with monthly caps, fixed-fee engagements for defined matter phases, and hybrid contingent structures where appropriate. The firm does not engage on contingency alone in defense matters.
