An Independent Voice for Investors and Stockbrokers
As our nation emerges from a severe economic recession, the need for independent representation in securities law matters has never been more evident. The industry powers are extremely well represented in the legal profession. What is missing are attorneys who can re-balance the scales of justice to engender healthy investment environment.
I am Jonathan Schwartz, a veteran securities attorney working in Marina del Rey, California. Since 1972, I have tried or arbitrated civil securities cases as an independent attorney. In my years in the practice of securities law, I have served as a trial attorney for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), an attorney advisor for the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and a compliance attorney for the Office of Foreign Direct Investment — U.S. Department of Commerce (OFDI).
I understand the securities-related issues stockbrokers, brokerages and their customers face, and I have the experience and knowledge to resolve favorably my clients' situations, whether they pertain to Southern California or elsewhere in the United States.

- Experience: I have served as a trial attorney for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), an attorney advisor for the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and a compliance attorney for the Office of Foreign Direct Investment — U.S. Department of Commerce (OFDI).

- Independence: I am one of very few independent Southern California lawyers with SEC, FTC and OFDI experience who represent stockbrokers and investors to the exclusion of all else.

My informal demeanor belies an extremely deep knowledge of securities law and procedures, and the fortitude to translate that knowledge into real-world outcomes.
