Most Attorneys Know Securities Law.
Jorge Knows How the Other Side Thinks.
Any securities attorney can file a FINRA claim. Very few can walk into a hearing knowing exactly how a broker-dealer's compliance department operates, what its internal supervisory records will show, and how the firm's defense counsel will try to frame the evidence. Jorge can. He spent more than a decade on that side of the table.

These are not marketing claims. Each one is verifiable, specific, and directly relevant to the outcome of your case.
He prosecuted broker-dealers. Now he prosecutes their misconduct on your behalf.
Jorge spent more than a decade as Senior Enforcement Counsel at the SEC's Miami Regional Office, building and trying cases against the same types of firms and advisers that may have harmed you. He knows how they structure their defenses, where their compliance failures are buried, and what their attorneys will argue at hearing. That institutional knowledge is not available at any other claimant-side firm. Read Jorge's full background.
He helps write the rules of the forum where your case will be heard.
As one of only seven Board-appointed Public Members of FINRA's National Arbitration and Mediation Committee—and Chair of its Expungement Subcommittee—Jorge participates in shaping the procedural rules governing FINRA arbitration. When a dispute arises about deadlines, discovery obligations, or arbitrator selection, Jorge is not researching the answer. He already knows it, and he knows why the rule was written the way it was. See how FINRA arbitration works.
He reads your brokerage records the way a forensic accountant does, not just a lawyer.
Securities fraud cases are financial cases. The misconduct lives in account statements, commission calculations, concentration analyses, and suitability assessments. Jorge's CPA and CGMA credentials mean he evaluates that evidence himself in the first review, directs expert witnesses from a position of genuine expertise, and cross-examines the respondent's financial experts on their own terms. Most claimant attorneys cannot do any of those three things without outside help.
He has never represented a broker-dealer, a FINRA member firm, or a respondent.
Some securities attorneys represent both investors and firms, depending on which side is paying. Jorge does not. He has represented investors exclusively since leaving the SEC, and he has never taken the other side. That is not a marketing position. It is a commitment that eliminates the conflicts of interest, divided loyalties, and institutional relationships that can compromise representation when an attorney works both sides of the same disputes.
You pay nothing unless he recovers. And he is the attorney doing the work.
Riera Law Firm operates on a pure contingency fee basis. If there is no recovery, there is no fee, no hourly charge, and no retainer. Jorge evaluates every case himself, takes only the ones he believes in, and handles them personally from intake through hearing. Your case is not managed by a paralegal under a partner's name. Jorge is the attorney who prepares it, argues it, and sees it through.
Clients may be responsible for costs and expenses regardless of outcome.

Who Riera Law Is the Right Fit For
Because Jorge handles cases personally and takes them selectively, Riera Law Firm is not the right fit for every investor with a grievance. It is the right fit for investors who need a specific kind of representation.
The typical Riera Law client has suffered meaningful financial losses, has a situation involving identifiable broker misconduct or adviser failures, and wants an attorney who will evaluate their case honestly rather than take it on volume and settle quickly for less than it is worth.
Many clients come to Jorge after consulting with another attorney who either did not take the case or who lacked the background to evaluate it thoroughly. Jorge's CPA credentials and SEC enforcement experience allow him to assess cases that other claimant attorneys cannot fully evaluate without outside help.

What Contingency Really Means
Contingency fee representation is standard in claimant-side securities arbitration. But not all contingency arrangements are the same, and the details matter.
At Riera Law Firm, the contingency commitment is straightforward: Jorge's fee is a percentage of what he recovers for you. If there is no recovery, there is no fee of any kind. No hourly billing. No retainer. No administrative charges. The only cost to you if the case does not result in a recovery is the time you spent pursuing it.
This structure aligns Jorge's interests completely with yours. He takes only cases he believes in, because he bears the full cost of the ones that do not recover. When he evaluates your case and tells you it is viable, that assessment carries real weight: he is putting his own time and resources behind it.
During the free consultation, Jorge will give you an honest assessment of your case, including the realistic range of potential recovery and the timeline you should expect. If he does not believe the case is strong enough to pursue, he will tell you that too.
