Arbitration Lawyer

Arbitration is a form of alternative dispute resolution where parties refer their matter to one or more neutral arbitrators for a binding determination. A neutral arbitrator reviews the evidence and renders a decision that is legally binding. The use of arbitration is often mandated by the terms of employment or commercial contracts. Even without an arbitration lawyer and agreement, parties may also voluntarily submit their dispute to arbitration.

Parties select arbitration as a method to achieve faster resolution of their disputes. There are also perceived cost savings over traditional litigation. Oftentimes, parties select an arbitration lawyer with specific expertise in a subject matter.

If you’re in need of an arbitration lawyer, our Firm has extensive experience with arbitrations all across the country. Our Firm’s lawyers have arbitrated with numerous entities. These entities include: the AAA, FINRA, the NLRB, JAMS, Arbitration Forums, Inc. and other private arbitration entities.

Indeed, one of our partners, Josh Iacuone, is a licensed FINRA arbitrator. The knowledge we gain from having a licensed arbitrator at our Firm helps us understand the process from the “inside-out.”

Dunn and his team have won numerous arbitration awards for their Plaintiff clients. And, the Firm’s lawyers have defeated plaintiffs’ claims for our Defendant clients.

Testimonials

“For many years Rogge has helped CBRE successfully resolve significant litigation and arbitration matters.”


—Ellis Reiter, Jr.
Former General Counsel, Litigation, CBRE (Los Angeles)

“Thank you for your advice and assistance on a number of matters over the years.  Your experience in California, your knowledge of FINRA and your connections in the financial industry helped me successfully resolve my ADA dispute, which was seriously compromising my health.   While I understand not all of your clients rely on you to fight for them when their health is on the line, your genuine concern for me as a person, literally saved my life.  You were always responsive, regardless of your schedule and your work ethic is amazing.  Your tenacity and skills during mediation and arbitration makes you particularly effective.  I am eternally grateful!”


-Bryan Whang
Managing Partner of Jupiter View Capital, Financial Advisor formerly with Goldman Sachs and UBS (Park City)

“Fighting off enforcement of a large promissory note by a big firm is tough.  The odds are skewed in favor of the firms.  When I had to do battle with my old firm, I hired Rogge.  He was committed to going all the way.

Rogge shines in trial; he carved up my former Branch Manager on the witness stand during the trial.  Rogge’s cross-examination was not only fun to watch, but enabled me to win a 1/3 reduction of the amount my old firm was seeking.

After the arbitration, Rogge stuck with me and wrote off a substantial portion of his fees.  He then assisted me for free with additional legal strategies that wiped out the rest that I owed without me having to pay anything on the promissory note.

Rogge, many thanks for a job well done.  I’d go into battle with you anytime.”


-Rich Dwyer
Financial Advisor, Merrill Lynch (Orlando)

“As a former branch manager at UBS, who has worked on capital raises, and now as a Partner in an RIA, I have worked with dozens of attorneys in the financial industry/private equity space.  Rogge is widely recognized as one of the best attorneys in this field and an exceptional trial lawyer–if a FINRA arbitration or a lawsuit is necessary.

Over the years I have hired Rogge on numerous occasions, including representing a team Goldman Sachs was suing in court that was moving to my firm. And I’ve hired him to defend a registered representative under  investigation by FINRA.   

When I was wrongfully sued in Louisiana,  Rogge found me a Louisiana attorney who got the lawsuit transferred to Houston.  Then Rogge went to work.  He won an Anti-Slapp ruling awarding me all my attorney’s fees against the other side.  The case then quickly settled in my favor.”


-Ray DiNunzio
Partner, Fall Line Securities (Houston)
