About Us

We at Carmel, Milazzo & DiChiara are dedicated to representing individual investors in disputes with stock brokers and brokerage firms. Because securities arbitration/litigation is an extremely narrow and specialized area of the law, CMD represents investors throughout the United States.

The founding attorneys of CMD spent the majority of their careers at large New York defense firms, representing brokers and broker-dealers in securities litigation, arbitration, administrative and regulatory proceedings before FINRA and the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission. Having extensive experience working on both sides of the fence, we have a unique understanding of the complexities of securities arbitration, mediation, regulation and litigation. Because CMD represents both plaintiffs and claimants in civil matters, and defendants and respondents in administrative and regulatory matters, we are familiar with all of the relevant legal arguments.

CMD has a combined 75+ years of experience in representing clients in corporate transactions, and business and commercial disputes. Our team has significant experience in all phases of litigation in federal and state courts, as well as arbitration forums, from the initiation of the action through trial.
