My philosophy is very simple and focused. It is client-centric. My job when retained is to navigate my client through a very complex, high-stakes regulatory process to reach the best resolution possible.
That includes no charges being brought, or it may result in settlement when the circumstances dictate. In that situation, my job is to secure the best possible settlement under the best possible terms.
So I am a problem solver at the end of the day, with the requirement that I utilize my knowledge and experience to get the best result for the client given the circumstances.
My background consists of starting at a big law firm, Greenberg Traurig, right out of law school, where I did securities defense work. Thereafter, I joined the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Enforcement Division as Senior Counsel.
I also spent a year on loan from the SEC to the Department of Justice and was sworn in as a Special Assistant United States Attorney to criminally prosecute securities fraud cases, thus providing me a unique insight into how the Department of Justice investigates and prosecutes criminal securities fraud.
Thereafter, I was with a small boutique firm where I started to do SEC defense work, and for over 25 years I have been representing individuals and companies in SEC investigations.
