In a just released transcript, NY State Supreme Court commercial Division Justice Eileen Bransten proclaimed on record that Gusrae Kaplan Nusbaum attorneys “deserve a gold medal” due to “hard work” that “was a pain to do,” but “worth the extra trouble.” See attached highlighted transcript page 3 of 3. The kudos came in the home stretch of GKN successfully obtaining expungement from securities regulators’ joint Central Registration Depository (CRD) of references to their registered representative client having been named in 17 separate arbitrations. Coordinating first with FINRA, and then with the court and the New York County Clerk’s office, GKN filed 17 separate proceedings, culminating in a requested expungement for each arbitration.
