Protecting Investor Rights for 30 Years

Too many people have lost too much money in the volatile stock market these past few years. In most instances, the causes were unrelated to the actions of their stockbrokers or brokerage firms. But for many of them, the direct causes were the misrepresentations and failures of their brokers and firms. Thank you for completing the Investor Loss Survey. Now, together, we must evaluate the merits of your claim to determine whether, in my opinion, you stand a chance of recovering losses if they were due to the negligence, recklessness or outright intentional misconduct of your broker or brokerage firm. Who am I to evaluate the merits of your claim and represent you in a securities arbitration? An attorney who has fought for investor rights for 30 years.

In addition to authoring or editing most of the law books on securities arbitration and mediation, I have served as a Special Deputy Attorney General in the Securities Bureau of the New York Department of law, responsible for the criminal and civil prosecution of securities fraud cases. I thereafter became the Director of the Compliance Department, Director of Arbitration and Director of Disciplinary Hearings of the American Stock Exchange. In addition to representing customers and brokers, I am an arbitrator and mediator and have chaired all of the continuing legal education programs on securities arbitration and mediation for the Practising Law Institute.

Now that you have completed the Loss Survey, contact me through my law firm's Web site - www.kaufmannfeiner.com . To learn more about the subject on your own, read my two-volume treatise - Securities Arbitration Procedure Manual (2003 Matthew Bender, a division of Lexis Publishing, www.lexis.com ) or go to the Web site of West Publishing - www.westlaw.com - and read my annual Practice Commentary to McKinney's Consolidated Laws of New York, Article 23-A of the General Business Law (the state's securities statute), on securities arbitration.
