FORMER CLIENTS
"Andrew helped us through a very tough Continuing Member Application (CMA) with the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) that was originally rejected. We got Andrew involved and he was able to take charge, answer all the NASD's questions and convince them only a few months later to approve us. The money we spent was well worth it and we found Andrew to not only be very skilled but much more reasonably priced than other attorneys we interviewed.
Andrew is a diligent attorney who understands his client's needs. When working with Andrew you can feel confident that any legal matters are being handled professionally, and in a manner that will get your desired results."

Securities Arbitration Defense
"Andrew May represented me and the major [broker-dealer (BD)] firm I was affiliated with in the spring of 2005 before an arbitration panel of the Pacific Stock Exchange (PSE) in San Francisco. . . . Let it be said that I was more than satisfied with A. May's excellence in preparation, earnestness in pursuit of the facts and fictions of the case, and energy in conducting a cogent, methodical, and thorough investigation of both the paperwork and personalities involved.
He gave me the benefit of his own previous case experiences and took into account my individual character traits in crafting an appropriate, forceful, succinct and natural presentation that accentuated my strengths and diminished my weaknesses before a Panel.This defused my initial feeling that the Panel would not typically warm to a respondent from the securities industry being sued by a retail supposedly "virtuous" client.
Not only did the Panel not award her a dime in their decision, but I was able to leave the hearing early and go on a previously scheduled vacation. My regret in leaving early was that I was forfeiting a valuable right of rebuttal or that my best interests would not be competently represented, but rather I apparently missed a real tour de force of a closing argument on the part of Mr. May!"
F. Berger, Los Angeles, CA
"I have known Andrew May in a business and social capacity for over 8 years and I am honored to write a recommendation for him. I have found him to be honest, reliable, hard working, conscientious and courteous. I hired Andrew to represent clients back in 2001 and our relationship has continued to expand in business together ever since. Andrew did an excellent job and was truly an asset. He has excellent written and verbal communication skills, is extremely organized, can work independently and is able to follow through to ensure that the job gets done. Andrew has always been willing to offer his assistance and maintains an excellent rapport with every one that he works with. He would be an asset to any client and I recommend him for any endeavor he chooses to pursue."

OTHER ATTORNEYS
"Mr. May and I became acquainted as adversaries in a commodities arbitration matter before the National Futures Association (NFA), which I brought on behalf of a client of mine approximate six years ago. Initially, Mr. May's client was to be a witness for my client. however, his client was drawn into the full arbitration by means of a third party complaint naming Mr. May's client. With great skill and deft legal work, Mr. May was able to have is client dismissed form the matter. Additionally, he was able to have the arbitration panel rule that the Respondents in my matter were now liable for attorney fees payable to Mr. May and to myself.
Mr. May has shown himself to be knowledgeable in the law of commodities, securities, general legal procedure. He has proven to be adept at integrating and applying all of his knowledge to the matter at hand.
Mr. May and I have subsequently consulted on a number of occasions regarding commodities/securities matters. I have always found his insights and advice to be clear, concise, accurate and useful."
