Why Choose Our Firm?

Experience

Leo spent the first thirteen years of his career representing the largest financial institutions and financial advisors in securities litigation and arbitration matters. This experience sets him apart from many other attorneys in the field, enabling him to bring a unique perspective and depth of understanding of the brokerage industry and its practices to his evaluation and handling of investor claims.

No Fees Without Recovery

We represent investors on a contingency fee basis. We do not earn a fee unless there is a recovery.

Client First Approach

We handle every case with a client first mentality. This translates into:

  • Candid Initial Assessment: We provide an honest and straightforward evaluation of your potential claims from the outset.
  • Aggressive Pursuit of Evidence: We diligently and proactively seek out all relevant evidence during the litigation or arbitration process to ensure no stone is left unturned.
  • Consistent Communication: We maintain clear and regular communication, ensuring you are informed at every stage.
  • Practical Guidance: We offer pragmatic advice and well-reasoned settlement recommendations to help you navigate your options.
  • Trial Preparedness: We are always trial-ready, ensuring we are positioned for success should a resolution not be reached through negotiation.

 

While the ultimate decision to settle rests with you, our commitment is to empower you with the knowledge and guidance necessary to make informed choices and achieve the best possible outcome.

* Clients are responsible for costs. Contingency fee is calculated before deducting costs incurred in the case. Depending upon the facts of a case, the attorney’s fee contingency percentage will likely range between 30% to 40% of the recovery.
