I bring a wealth of experience in representing clients in litigation and arbitration matters before FINRA and in state and federal courts. As a seasoned attorney, I have represented customers against every major broker-dealer in the industry, providing robust representation in FINRA arbitration cases. My extensive background as lead counsel in FINRA evidentiary hearings underscores my formidable trial experience and commitment to my clients' success.
My unique perspective and understanding of the securities industry set me apart from other attorneys. After earning my Bachelor of Science in Finance from the University of Southern California, I began my career at Shearson Lehman Brothers, where I was Series Seven licensed. This early experience as a registered representative provided me with invaluable insights into the workings of the securities industry, complementing my deep legal knowledge.
My legal career is distinguished by my diverse and comprehensive experience. I clerked for the Honorable Joseph Reichmann of the United States District Court for the Central District of California before earning my law degree from Southwestern School of Law. I then served as an Assistant District Attorney in New York City, where I gained significant courtroom experience. During my tenure, I directed on-site police investigations, led grand jury prosecutions, drafted and presented search warrants, and prosecuted individuals accused of fraud and other crimes.
Following my time at the District Attorney's Office, I joined Morgan Stanley Dean Witter as in-house counsel. There, I defended the firm against allegations of sales practice violations and stock broker fraud by investors and regulators, further honing my skills in securities law.
My experience is unique with my deep understanding of both the legal and securities industries.
