          Although born in Florida, Mr. Degnan grew up and was raised in a small town west of Boston, Massachusetts. He attended Boston College’s prestigious Carroll School of Management, where he received a Bachelor of Science in 1989. After completing his undergraduate degree, Mr. Degnan returned to Florida and attended the University of Miami School of Law, where he received his Juris Doctorate degree in 1993.

          After interning with the Enforcement Branch of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), Mr. Degnan began his career in Miami and practiced in the areas of securities arbitration and litigation, securities transactional, and civil and commercial litigation in state and federal courts. In 1995, he joined a securities litigation boutique firm in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where he practiced for six years before joining another nationally known securities litigation firm in Boca Raton, Florida, where he practiced from 2001 through 2007. In April of 2007, Mr. Degnan opened his own law firm in Boca Raton, Florida.

          Although Mr. Degnan also practices in the areas of corporate, commercial, and trust litigation, most of his practice throughout his career has involved investor disputes in Florida and around the country in which he has aggressively represented investors, brokerage firms, and individual securities brokers in a variety of disputes involving complex securities law issues in court proceedings in state and federal courts (trial and appellate), arbitration proceedings before the National Association of Securities Dealers Regulation, Inc. (“NASDR”, now “FINRA”) and the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (“NYSE”), and in mediation proceedings.

          Many of these investor disputes have involved fraud, negligence, unsuitable recommendations of investments and investment strategies, unauthorized trading, selling away, failures to supervise, breaches of fiduciary duties, and excessive trading (churning) and have involved investments such as stocks, bonds, options, mutual funds, commodities, variable annuities, penny stocks, viatical settlement contracts, UIT’s, REIT’s, and CMO’s for example. In representing investors, Mr. Degnan has been involved in litigation with many of the world’s largest brokerage firms. Mr. Degnan also represents both brokerage firms and brokers in employment and other contract issues, Form U-5 abuse cases, and in defense of FINRA and SEC regulatory investigations and enforcement actions.

          Mr. Degnan handles cases on a contingency basis, an hourly basis, and a mixed hybrid partial-contingency, partial hourly basis. If you would like to schedule a free initial consultation, please telephone Mr. Degnan at (561) 353-1631 or e-mail him at michael@mjcdegnan.com.
