I’ve had the privilege of working closely with this firm in my role as Chief Compliance Officer and I can confidently say they are an exceptional compliance partner. Their depth of experience is immediately evidentand they bring a level of practical knowledge. What I truly enjoy is their ability to translate complex regulatory requirements into plain English, often using real, everyday examples that make implementation far more manageable. They are also incredibly responsive and reliable. In a field where timing matters, their prompt communication and thoughtful guidance have been invaluable. If you’re looking for a compliance attorney who combines expertise, clarity, and professionalism, I highly recommend them.

Michelle and the team at Jacko Law Group have helped guide through a variety of critical circumstances as we ventured through the uncharted and unfamiliar territory of becoming and successfully operating as an RIA. I have particularly appreciated Michelle's personal involvement and genuine caring about us and our organization. She has been responsive and her counsel has been consistently on-point and helpful. She artfully guided us through our initial filing process and first SEC exam process - which went very well. Very grateful to Michelle and her team.

Michelle and her team were excellent to work with, front to back. They helped me to understand the challenges ahead and were always proactive in their consultation through every step of my transition. JLG truly know the wealth management industry very well and did a great job of understanding the challenges unique to my business. Without them, I can confidently say I would not have felt as comfortable through the transition as I did. Fortunately, that's not something that stops there - Michelle and her team have kept in touch to ensure that I'm on top of certain administrative issues, trends, and simply showing me that they care about my business and success. I look forward to continuing to work with them for many years to come.

Dharmi Mehta was extremely helpful when my business partner and I transitioned to a new RIA firm. She and her staff were all very professional. Her guidance during our transition was invaluable. I highly recommend Dharmi and Jacko Law Group.

Dharmi and Amandeep were a delight to work with. They assisted me with a claim and stuck with me the entire way through. Dharmi's advice was invaluable, and I was most impressed by her clear and professional communication. From beginning-to-end, both Dharmi and Amandeep kept me well informed. Their entire team are proud of their work and rightfully so. Thank you!

My mentor once told me that a good attorney is worth their weight in gold — and that couldn't be more true of Michelle and Amanda. Their expertise, professionalism, and responsiveness were top notch every step of the way. It's rare to find legal partners who are not only sharp and thorough, but also genuinely invested in your success. I’m grateful for their guidance and highly recommend them to anyone seeking trusted legal counsel.

It is my great Privilege to share my Review of what Atty Dharmi Mehta of Jacko Law Group did for me and by extension for my family. From the first time complimentary conversation we had having spoken to several other Lawyers ,l knew she was the right person for the Job .Because of her background as a former RR ,she was professional,kind, Empathetic,listened and was focused on fighting for me. From a potential of been terminated with cause ,l was able to walk away with a clean U5 with a validation that l did nothing wrong except what was in the best Interest of my clients. I hope nobody ever has to go through what l have Experienced, but if you do ,you want Dharmi Mehta beside you .Rest assured your service Deserve 10 stars but this forum only allows 5. Me and my family are forever grateful and will make sure that any RR who needs an advocate will know about you . Everistus Etafo

I have worked with Jacko Law Group for 2 different business situations that necessitated an attorney. In both cases, the team was very thorough & competent. Their attention to our situation and the extra effort they put into our case(s) was very much appreciated. I would highly recommend Jacko Law Group!

The larger your business, the more likely you should include your compliance staff in the conference, as they stand to gain valuable experience from the speakers.

The Speakers and Agenda

There will be a diverse collection of speakers, including the industry leading CEOs, CCOs, and Partners at firms from all over the US.

The event kicks off with a keynote address from Michele Wein Layne, the Regional Director of SEC’s Los Angeles Office. She has been the director of the LA regional office since 2012, and has lead numerous high-profile and significant cases involving financial reporting and accounting misconduct, subprime lending, stock options back dating, and more. Her keynote will discuss the priorities she’s currently pursuing for the L.A. regional office, as well as the trends they have been seeing nationwide.

Key team members from Jacko Law Group, PC will be participating in several panels, with our Managing Partner and CEO, Michelle L. Jacko, moderating.

Hear from Dave Sobel, FINRA Specialist, discuss the complex and difficult topic of Handling Aging Client Issues. He’ll be part of a panel reviewing a case study about the topic, discussing how to communicate with clients about these issues, establishing emergency “trusted” contacts early on in the professional relationship, what to do when you detect diminished capacity, as well as detecting and handling the financial exploitation of elderly clients.

Other members of our team, including Michelle Jacko, will be presenting in the afternoon on Expectations for Performing Due Diligence and How to Write Effective, Compliant Disclosures. It will be a valuable exercise with practical applications you can take back to your home office and begin using immediately.
