WHY CHOOSE THE PICKHOLZ LAW OFFICES?

The Pickholz Law Offices was founded by Jason Pickholz, a former BigLaw white collar partner. His goal was to combine top caliber legal representation with the personal attention to clients possible in an elite boutique environment.

Mr. Pickholz and The Pickholz Law Offices have been representing clients in securities and financial cases since 1995. Our clients are not commodities or billable hours -- they are people who have placed their trust in us. We do not robo-file whistleblower submissions, or cut-and-paste generic defenses.
