Who We Are

We are trial and appellate lawyers with decades of success litigating nationwide before the federal district courts, the federal circuit courts of appeals, and the Supreme Court of the U.S. We possess a rare combination of high-value or high-stakes litigation experiences as litigators at an AM LAW 100 firm, the Department of Justice, several financial-institution regulatory agencies (FDIC & OCC), and a global information technology corporation. We level the playing field by representing individuals against corporate defendants strictly on a contingency fee basis.

Arbitrations against Banks and Crypto Depositories

Arbitrations against financial institutions:  Most bank consumer contracts require depositors to resolve alleged negligence and breach of contract claims through binding arbitration.  We successfully have represented victims of online bank fraud, including theft from bank depository accounts and through wire fraud.  Bank fraud can take several forms, including an online predator stealing a customer’s login credentials or duping the customer into providing login credentials in a telephone call whereby the predator purports to be a bank official.  In many cases, the bank can be held liable for negligence or breach of contract based on legal theories that require specialized cybersecurity expertise.

 Arbitrations against cryptocurrency depositories, such as Coinbase, Inc.:  Like banks, most cryptocurrency depositories require customers whose assets are stolen by online predators to resolve disputes through binding arbitration instead of through civil litigation.  We successfully have represented crypto depositors for the depository’s failure to lock a customer’s account when cybersecurity systems should have detected online fraud.

A Man of Principal and Integrity
Jerry has represented my wife and I on two separate and very different cases and he is without question a man of principal and integrity. A wise and studious professional who was able to guide us through difficult terrain and to the best possible outcome. For those reasons and more, we would highly recommend him.

Outstanding Advocate
I worked with Jerry while at the Department of Justice on very large, complex civil matters. Jerry is simply an outstanding advocate. He excels both in trial and appellate work.
