David A. Weintraub, P.A.

You’ve heard the saying: “It takes one to know one.”  Well, when I began my legal career in Miami, I regularly represented Wall Street’s largest securities firms, in state and federal courts, in arbitration proceedings, and in regulatory inquiries and investigations. Whether in Ruden McClosky’s Securities Litigation Group or as Prudential Securities’ in-house counsel and First Vice President for the Southern Region headquarters, my focus for 13 years was on protecting the securities industry.Then I switched sides.  Since 1997, when I returned to private practice, I have represented hundreds of retail and institutional investors across the country in claims ranging from under $100,000 to more than $100 million.  The vast majority of my arbitrations were resolved through confidential settlements.  Apparently, I work well on this side of the aisle.  I have an AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell—very high to preeminent.  That’s the directory’s highest rating.  I am also certified by the Supreme Court of Florida as a Circuit Court Mediator.In addition to publishing a newsletter for professionals highlighting interesting developments in securities law, I also write for scholarly publications affiliated with various Bar Associations: The Florida Bar Journal, ActionLine (The Florida Bar Real Property, Probate and Trust Law section), The Nebraska Lawyer and the Prairie Barrister, (Nebraska Association of Trial Attorneys).I have been admitted to practice law in Florida
