Mr. Sirota received his AV® Preeminent™ rating for his work in Securities Law.

He has defended clients in numerous SEC and FINRA investigations and proceedings.

Before entering private practice in 1980, Mr. Sirota served as an enforcement staff attorney for the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), the regulatory body for the over-the-counter market.

Mr. Sirota earned his B.A. from Brooklyn College of the City University of New York.
