Haselkorn & Thibaut, P.A. — operating as Investment Fraud Lawyers — is a premier securities arbitration and investment litigation firm representing individual investors nationwide. Founded by two former Wall Street defense lawyers, the firm brings insider knowledge, aggressive strategy, and a 98% success rate to every case we take on.
We hold a distinction most investor advocacy firms cannot claim: we have worked on the other side. Before representing investors, our partners defended some of the largest financial services firms in the world in securities arbitration and litigation. That experience gives us an uncommon advantage — we know how Wall Street firms build their cases, where they cut corners, and how to dismantle their arguments from the inside out.
Key credentials:
- 98% success rate across hundreds of investor claims.
- 95+ years of combined securities law experience.
- Over $520 million involved in securities matters
- Top 2% peer-reviewed (Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent), Super Lawyers-designated, 5.0‑star client reviews.
Big-Firm Results. Boutique-Firm Service.
At Haselkorn & Thibaut, clients get the depth of experience and quality of work product that large Wall Street firms relied on for years — delivered with the personal attention, responsiveness, and accessibility of a focused boutique practice.
What that means in practice:
- You work directly with the partners, not a rotating team of associates
- Your case is not handed off — Jason Haselkorn and Matt Thibaut are personally involved from first consultation through resolution
- Strategy is tailored to your specific situation, not run through a formulaic playbook
- Communication is direct and timely — you will always know where your case stands
This is the model our clients and professional referral sources — including CPAs, estate planning attorneys, financial advisors, and fellow lawyers — have come to rely on. They trust us with their most valued client relationships because they know the work will be done right.
The Advantage of Insider Experience
Our partners’ backgrounds in the financial services industry are not incidental — they are the foundation of how we build and win cases.
Jason Haselkorn worked as a registered representative and in the legal department of a major broker-dealer firm before serving as General Counsel for a regional broker-dealer and SEC-registered investment advisory firm. He has been a senior partner at a large law firm and founded his own practice — giving him experience at every level of the legal industry.
Matt Thibaut has spent over two decades focused exclusively on securities litigation and arbitration, with particular expertise in elder financial abuse and investment fraud claims. He has been quoted in national publications including Forbes and the Palm Beach Daily News, and is an active speaker on securities law, elder exploitation, and investor protection.
Together, Jason and Matt have:
- Settled and tried hundreds of securities and investment cases — on both sides of the table
- Served as litigation and arbitration trial counsel for both investors and financial institutions
- Worked as General Counsel for a broker-dealer — giving them firsthand knowledge of how firms operate, supervise, and sometimes fail their clients
- Recovered millions of dollars for individuals, families, trusts, and estates across the country
This dual perspective — knowing how Wall Street defends these cases and knowing how to defeat those defenses — is what allows us to achieve results other firms cannot.
A Track Record Built on Results
We do not take every case. We take cases we believe in — and we fight them aggressively from the start. Our 98% success rate is not a marketing number. It reflects careful case evaluation, thorough investigation, and strategy developed from decades of experience on both sides of the arbitration table.
Representative client stories:
Family Trust Recovers Millions After Fraud by Trusted Advisor
A well-known family in a small community had built a charitable trust over generations, reflecting their deepest values. A once-trusted financial advisor defrauded the family of nearly 90% of their investable assets. Traditional litigation looked prohibitively expensive. Their family attorney referred them to Jason and Matt. After a thorough investigation and aggressive strategy, the family recovered several million dollars — and the referring attorney earned a substantial co-counsel referral fee.
Inheritance Rescued from Ponzi Scheme
A family invested nearly their entire inheritance with a highly regarded advisor offering a “safe, secure municipal bond fund.” The fund was actually a fraudulent Ponzi scheme in violation of SEC and FINRA rules, and the advisor’s brokerage firm had failed to supervise. Jason and Matt achieved a multimillion-dollar recovery for the family.
Widow’s Retirement Assets Recovered After Unsuitable Strategy
An elderly widow’s late husband had opened an account with a financial advisor who continued an aggressive, high-commission strategy even after she retired and her needs changed. Her new financial advisor recognized the problems and referred her to Jason and Matt. After investigation and expert analysis, the unsuitability and churning were clear — and the client obtained a substantial recovery that restored her financial security.
CPA Uncovers Hidden Losses — Client Recovers Substantially
A client’s CPA noticed unusual realized investment losses and referred the client to Jason and Matt. Further investigation revealed the realized losses were just the tip of the iceberg — substantial unrealized losses had gone undetected, and the financial advisor had not met industry standards. Working alongside the CPA and a new financial advisor, the team identified all damages and achieved a substantial recovery.
Five Times the Mediation Offer After Taking Over the Case
A prestigious law firm referred a substantial claim against a large Wall Street firm, but the client was dissatisfied — their current lawyer appeared to be outgunned by the firm’s New York City-based attorneys. After a failed mediation, Jason and Matt took over. A new, aggressive, and creative strategy produced a recovery more than five times the original mediation offer. The referring law firm preserved its client relationship and earned a substantial co-counsel referral fee.
Each case is unique. Results vary based on specific facts, evidence, and damages. These examples are not intended to suggest any particular outcome in another case.
Nationwide Representation
Our respected securities lawyers have represented clients from Hawaii to Puerto Rico and across the continental United States. With offices in Florida, New York, Arizona, Texas, and North Carolina and a nationwide FINRA arbitration practice, geography is never a barrier to working with our team.

More Than Legal Advocacy — Comprehensive Guidance
We understand that investment losses do not happen in a vacuum. They can derail retirement plans, threaten your ability to maintain your lifestyle, affect your estate and tax planning, and take an emotional toll on you and your family.
That is why we often coordinate with your existing professionals — estate planning attorneys, CPAs, tax advisors, and new financial advisors — to address the full picture, not just the arbitration outcome. Our goal is not only to recover your losses but to help you get back on solid financial footing.
Our Commitment Starts at the First Consultation
From your very first call or meeting, you will know where we stand. If we take your case, it is because we believe in it — and we are prepared to pursue the maximum recovery aggressively, from start to finish.
We offer free, confidential case evaluations. Whether you are an individual investor, a family, a trust, or a professional referring a client, we will give you an honest assessment of your situation and your options.
