Attorney

Mr. Thompson has successfully represented hundreds of clients who have lost huge sums. Subsequent to his court room successes in vehicle roll-over, air crash deaths, drug claims, personal injury, fraudulent sales tactics and finance fraud, Mr. Thompson has for the last decade focused his law practice on investors' claims. Due to the confidential nature of these clients and former clients' cases, Mr. Thompson is professionally prevented from disclosing their names and the extraordinary results. However, he has accomplished success in over 90% of the securities cases he has handled, which he began prosecuting in the mid-1980's. He has seen six and seven figure results in court trials, settlements as well as arbitration. Under the present law virtually all customer investor claims against brokerage firms have to be litigated in arbitration, in which Mr. Thompson has had remarkable success.
