Illinois Securities and Commodities Fraud
Litigation as a Government Attorney
- While I was employed as a trial attorney for CFTC's Division of Enforcement, I represented the Commission before the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in an action against the Hunt family for alleged violations of the Commission's speculative position limits. I ended up reaching a settlement with the defendants that included substantial fines and a cease and desist order. I also was fortunate enough to receive a Special Achievement Award from the Commission. For more information about the services I offer at my firm visit the following links:
