Jim, throughout his career, has had an interest in securities litigation. This likely stems from the fact that his father was an attorney by education and a stockbroker by avocation.

McMahon, 482 U.S. 220 (1987), Jim became one of the early arbitrators appointed by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), now FINRA, by his appointment as an arbitrator in 1989. He is chairman qualified by both NASD and FINRA. Since 1989 Jim has been involved in hundreds of security disputes, both as an arbitrator and as an attorney on behalf of customers. Jim has represented customers in securities disputes in State and Federal courts, as well as in NASD and FINRA arbitrations. Jim continues to focus his practice on securities litigation and enjoys the challenges these cases present.
