FINRA Defense
In recent years, customers who are unhappy with their tenancy-in-common real-estate securities (TICs) have brought an unprecedented number of FINRA claims against broker-dealer firms (B-Ds) and registered representatives (RRs). Plaintiffs’ lawyers and self-described “investment recovery” firms entice investors with a promise to charge no fees until investment losses are recovered. Even though many of these claims are ultimately found to be frivolous, B-Ds and RRs must defend to preserve clean FINRA records and guard against the risk of a significant investor reimbursement award. For these reasons many B-Ds end up paying huge defense costs: Even those B-Ds with good insurance must pay a big deductible – often as much as $100,000 – before the insurer will pay any defense or settlement costs. As a result, many B-Ds and RRs struggle to preserve their good reputation without going broke.
JUDD LAW GROUP provides a better way for B-Ds and RRs to mount an effective defense against customer claims at a fraction of the cost of most other law firms. We allocate defense resources only to issues that really matter, with a single-minded focus on achieving our clients’ objectives. JUDD LAW GROUP achieves cost-effective, high-quality results and provides extraordinary personal service by:

For over 20 years, I practiced law at one of the country’s top firms – O’Melveny & Myers LLP – where I represented premier investment firms like Franklin Templeton, New York Life, and Prudential. I started JUDD LAW GROUP to solve problems for companies that need the expertise, judgment and quality of a big firm, but who want the service, and affordability of a boutique. JUDD LAW GROUP focuses on business litigation, class actions, white-collar defense, and FINRA arbitration claims against B-Ds and RRs.
