Schillinger, founder of the law firm has for nearly 40 years been advocating for victims of fraud, individuals and families involved in business disputes, and other parties with their money and futures on the line. He is board certified in business litigation by the Florida Bar Association and widely acknowledged for his work in complex securities litigation. He has also been selected for inclusion in Florida Super Lawyers repeatedly over the past several years. Founded in 1979, our South Florida law firm has long been a trusted legal resource for investors who have been misled and defrauded, business leaders and stakeholders, real estate owners and developers, and others across the cultural and financial spectrum.

Attorney Schillinger has been handling business and financial disputes since the 1970s and securities law matters since the 1980s. His tenacity has led state and federal court judges to refer to him as a tiger — and opposing counsel to negotiate fairly rather than risk trial. He is also a member of FIABA, the largest bar association of attorneys for securities and arbitration matters, and has been involved with FIABA since its inception.

Our legal team's in-depth knowledge of securities law, commercial law, corporate ownership and partnership disputes, real estate and construction law, wills and trusts, and insurance coverage and claims enables us to: Thoroughly evaluate your potential legal case and offer practical guidance in terms you can understand; Find innovative solutions for recovering or protecting your valuable assets and asserting your interests under the law; and Begin preparing for the possibility of trial from the outset, but ultimately seek the best path to resolution for you — often through a negotiated out-of-court settlement, arbitration or mediation.
