Erez Law, PLLC has established itself as a leading advocate for investors in FINRA arbitration and complex securities disputes across the United States. The Miami-based firm, which represents both domestic and international investors in U.S.-based litigation, focuses exclusively on cases involving broker misconduct, unsuitable investment recommendations, elder financial exploitation, athlete financial fraud, and other forms of investment fraud.
The firm has recovered more money in FINRA arbitration trials against brokerage firms than any other law firm in history. This distinction reflects both its preparation and willingness to take cases through final hearing rather than seeking early compromise. Among its significant recoveries are a $16,000,000 recovery for an investor from a major brokerage firm, $14,200,000 in Louis R. Deluca, Elizabeth Deluca and UBS, Inc. v. Stifel, Nicolaus & Co., Inc., Case No. 23-01288, and a $13,500,000 recovery for another investor from a major brokerage firm.
One notable case demonstrating the firm's capabilities is Oren v. UBS, where Erez Law represented John and Elise Oren in a FINRA arbitration concerning UBS's sale of its proprietary YES investment strategy. UBS marketed YES as a low-risk options overlay strategy designed to generate additional income, but in reality, it was a high-risk, directional iron condor approach that exposed investors to significant losses. After an eight-day trial in Houston, Texas, the arbitration panel awarded the Orens $3.8 million, including approximately $2 million in losses, benefit of the bargain damages reflecting the returns UBS had represented would be achieved, prejudgment interest, and attorney's fees of $965,657. The panel also found a violation of the Texas Securities Act. This outcome is widely viewed as a significant investor victory in a complex proprietary product case.
Other substantial recoveries include $4,200,000 in Puerto Rico Investors v. UBS Financial Services, Inc. and UBS Financial Services of Puerto Rico, Inc., Case No. 16-0071. As financial products become more sophisticated, Erez Law believes investor representation must continue to evolve. The firm envisions a future in which investment fraud litigation is driven by deeper financial analysis, strategic trial preparation, and a continued willingness to pursue full evidentiary hearings when appropriate.
Erez Law remains focused on protecting investors and holding brokerage firms accountable through FINRA arbitration and U.S. courts. By concentrating its practice solely on investor representation, the firm ensures that its resources and experience are directed toward achieving justice for investors who have been wronged.
