About Us

For almost a quarter of a century (25 years), Blum Law Group’s primary focus is in the practice of Securities Arbitration and Litigation, resulting in the recovery of millions of dollars on behalf of aggrieved investors. The Firm’s securities claims focus on brokerage firms’ failure to supervise their financial advisors who engage in unsuitable investment recommendations, the excessive trading of customers’ accounts, inappropriate allocation of portfolio assets, misrepresentations and/or material omissions of fact resulting in fraud, negligence, breach of fiduciary duties, selling away, failure to advise their clients of risk management strategies and excessive use of margin. The Firm’s securities cases have been featured in such financial and national publications as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and Investment News.

Since 1997, we have represented thousands of investors nationwide to recover losses. We have represented clients in Federal and state courts and in arbitration through the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the National Futures Association (NFA) and the American Arbitration Association (AAA).
