Attorney Profiles

Anthony J. Hartman is a 1965 graduate of Ohio State University and received his law degree in 1968 from Case Western Reserve University School of Law where he was elected to Order of the Coif, a law school equivalent of Phi Beta Kappa. Since entering the practice of law over 30 years ago with a large Cleveland law firm, Tony has tried hundreds of cases involving all types of business disputes. He has represented every type of client, from individuals to huge corporations. In years past, he has engaged in securities litigation on behalf of both individual investors and large brokerage firms. But today, his securities practice is devoted exclusively to the representation of investors seeking to recover losses caused by the misconduct of stockbrokers, investment advisors, financial planners, insurance agents and other investment professionals. In addition to representing clients, Tony has been a lecturer to other lawyers and to trade groups. He is a member of the Public Investors Arbitration Bar Association (PIABA) and is co-author (with his partner Jay Salamon) of "The Broker's Duty to Monitor Accounts and Recommend Protective Measures," published in the PIABA Bar Journal, a quarterly compilation of scholarly articles relevant to the practice of securities arbitration, authored by legal practitioners, experts, mediators, arbitrators, and law school professors.
