Practice Areas

I focus exclusively on representing individuals and entities in SEC investigations nationally and abroad.

I am a former SEC Enforcement Attorney and for over the last twenty-five years I have served as a SEC defense attorney, handling matters involving insider trading, market manipulations, securities offering frauds and investment advisory violations.

I often am called upon to represent individuals, often times officers and directors, who are in need of separate legal representation due to conflict concerns.

Career

I started my legal career at Greenberg Traurig (1992 - 1995) and thereafter joined the SEC in its Enforcement Division (1995 - 1999). During my tenure at the SEC, I held the position of Senior Counsel. For over twenty-five years, I have run my own law firm, focusing my practice on the defense of individuals, including officers, directors, registered investment and financial advisors and companies, under SEC investigation.

Work Highlights

For approximately twelve years, I had the honor and pleasure of serving as an Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Miami School of Law where I taught a course on SEC Enforcement.
