Rex Securities Law

Robert H. Rex, Esq.

After spending 4 years in the U. S. Air Force, Robert Rex, Esq. obtained his bachelor’s degree in accounting from Florida Atlantic University and then obtained his law degree from the University of Florida in 1976, joining the bar associations of Florida and Texas. For six years following graduation from law school, he practiced tax law and accounting and oil and gas law as a CPA with Coopers and Lybrand and then with Grant Thornton (formerly Alexander Grant).

After a couple of years as in house counsel for an oil and gas exploration company, he commenced his law career serving the public and soon discovered that his background in accounting was great preparation for focusing his law practice on the representation of victims of financial advisor malpractice and securities fraud.

In the 1990’s his first investment loss recovery case was the representation of an elderly widow who came into the office because thought something was not right about her investment account. Working with an older lawyer who was one of the leaders in the field of investment loss recovery at the time, after a year of trial preparation and several weeks of arbitration hearings, an arbitration panel awarded $2 million dollars, much to the delight of their client.

Since that time in the early 1990’s Mr. Rex has represented thousands of victims of stockbroker malpractice, investment fraud and theft.

We understand that losing a substantial amount of your nest egg, especially for the retired and those hoping to be retired is a serious matter.

Our practice is limited to the representation of victims of securities fraud and stockbroker malpractice. Mr. Rex’s clients are comprised primarily of retirees seeking the recovery of  retirement funds lost as a result of negligent advice from financial advisors, stockbrokers and brokerage firms. We represent clients nationwide and worldwide for victims who have accounts with U. S. registered brokerage firms.

Mr. Rex is a member of the Florida and Texas Bar Associations , PIABA (Public Investors Arbitration Bar Association) a bar association dedicated to the representation of investors, and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. He was voted one of Florida’s Top lawyers by Florida Legal Elite in 2006. This honor was determined by a voting of Florida lawyers and represents the top 1.6% of Florida’s lawyers.

Mr. Rex served in the United States Air Force Securities Service from 1966-1970. A resident of  of Palm Beach County Florida for most of his life, Mr. Rex now resides just outside of Austin, TX.

In most cases representation is handled on a contingent fee basis and we do not charge to evaluate a case.
