FULL DISCLAIMER: Trial Attorney Jeff Wertz is NOT a member of the Bar of the SDNY, however, he has been admitted in that court pro hac vice in two separate matters since 2022.

The SDNY is widely regarded as the epicenter of most corporate and securities federal cases and the opinions from its judges hold extra weight and other intangible persuasive force as precedent to other federal courts both at the trial level and even in the appellate circuits.

The court is located in lower Manhattan.
