Principal, Altamirano PLLC

Jorge Altamirano has spent his entire career on the investor’s side of the table, fighting for clients in FINRA arbitration and recovering millions of dollars in investment losses. Based in New York City, he is the managing partner of Altamirano PLLC, a boutique law firm built to hold Wall Street accountable.

Altamirano’s record spans more than 1,500 cases, with claims exceeding $200 million. He has recovered millions for investors nationwide, focusing exclusively on investor-side claims. His work covers investment fraud, broker misconduct, unsuitable products, and supervisory failures, helping clients recover losses through FINRA arbitration.

He began representing investors during the Puerto Rico municipal bond crisis of 2013–2014, filing cases against UBS Financial Services, UBS Puerto Rico, and others that left retirees, families, and later credit unions with devastating losses.

In 2021, Altamirano was at the center of the meme-stock fight, taking on Robinhood for its position-closing-only trading restrictions during the GameStop short squeeze. In January 2022, he secured the first and only arbitration award in the nation against Robinhood over those restrictions, a case covered by MarketWatch, Reuters, and The New York Times.

By 2022, his focus expanded to the collapse of GWG Holdings’ L Bonds. He was among the first lawyers to investigate and file cases against independent broker-dealers that sold the products, and he continues to represent bondholders nationwide.

Across each of these battles, Altamirano has built a reputation for sharp strategy, relentless advocacy, and an ability to distill complex disputes to their core: a broker’s duty to the investor, and what went wrong.

He is a member of PIABA, the national bar association for investor rights. His cases have been covered in major outlets including The New York Times, MarketWatch, Business Insider, and Reuters.

Altamirano lives in Manhattan with his wife and daughter.

"Jorge secured a result in our case that felt like a true victory. That, of course, is vitally important. But what is equally noteworthy is how Jorge confidently led us through the process. No question to Jorge was too trivial. From the beginning he explained the process, the challenges, and the risks. I was never under-informed."

"I was sold a large number of bonds that turned out to be a deeply flawed investment product. I trusted my former financial advisor because he held himself out as a fiduciary and assured me he would act in my best interest. When he recommended the bonds, he claimed they were safe because they were backed by life insurance policies. After the investment failed and proved worthless, I searched online for information and discovered Attorney Jorge Altamirano’s record of success settling FINRA complaints against the brokerage firms whose representatives sold these bonds. I contacted him, and he filed a FINRA arbitration claim against the brokerage firm. He attained a settlement that exceeded my expectations. I am very grateful for the work Attorney Altamirano did on my behalf."

“I reached out to Jorge Altamirano after reading about his successful case for a client that was affected by trading restrictions on certain stocks. I was impressed that Jorge was able to attain success when every other attorney did not. Jorge explained every step of the way clearly, was extremely thorough, and made decisions with meaningful intent. Not only is he great at what he does but he is also a good person, which I truly appreciated. At the end of the day, he secured a winning outcome for me as well. I couldn’t have asked for more from Jorge and his team. If you are considering Jorge Altamirano to represent you, you are already on the path to victory.”
