About Us

For almost a quarter of a century (25 years), Blum Law Group’s primary focus is in the practice of Securities Arbitration and Litigation, resulting in the recovery of millions of dollars on behalf of aggrieved investors. The Firm’s securities claims focus on brokerage firms’ failure to supervise their financial advisors who engage in unsuitable investment recommendations, the excessive trading of customers’ accounts, inappropriate allocation of portfolio assets, misrepresentations and/or material omissions of fact resulting in fraud, negligence, breach of fiduciary duties, selling away, failure to advise their clients of risk management strategies and excessive use of margin. The Firm’s securities cases have been featured in such financial and national publications as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and Investment News.

Since 1997, we have represented thousands of investors nationwide to recover losses. We have represented clients in Federal and state courts and in arbitration through the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the National Futures Association (NFA) and the American Arbitration Association (AAA).

Darren C. Blum

30 Years of Legal Experience. A Financial Industry Insider. A Relentless Advocate.

Darren C. Blum brings 30 years of legal experience and a firsthand understanding of the financial markets to his representation of investors. He has been involved in securities cases totaling more than $1 billion, combining deep industry knowledge with a determined, results-driven approach.

Before becoming an attorney, Mr. Blum spent years as a licensed stock and commodities broker, trading for institutions and individual investors. He also worked in the trading “pits” of the Commodity Exchange at New York’s World Trade Center. That experience gives him an insider’s perspective on how financial products are sold, how brokerage firms operate, and where investor interests can be compromised.

Mr. Blum later combined his financial background with a law degree and joined a major international law firm that today has more than 1,000 attorneys. His experience also includes working at NASD Dispute Resolution-the predecessor to today’s FINRA Dispute Resolution Services-where he assisted in the adjudication of hundreds of securities arbitration cases. That work provided valuable insight into the arbitration process and how cases are presented, evaluated, and decided.

At Blum Law Group, Mr. Blum puts that experience to work for his clients. He handles cases on a contingency-fee basis, meaning his attorney’s fee depends on obtaining a recovery for the client.

His philosophy is straightforward: “I take my clients’ cases personally. I’m competitive, I hate to lose, and I bring that determination to every case I handle. When you entrust me with your case, you get an advocate who is invested in the outcome.”
