About Adam
Adam Marquardt combines an accounting background with a law degree to handle disputes that touch on numbers as well as legal rules. He studied accounting at Marquette University and earned a B.S. in 2002. He later returned to school for law and received his J.D. from The John Marshall Law School in 2011. Those two credentials shape how he approaches client matters: careful with figures, attentive to procedure.
After completing law school, Marquardt moved into private practice. He has maintained memberships in the Chicago Bar Association and the Illinois State Bar Association. He is also a member of the Public Investors Arbitration Bar Association. That association is notable for lawyers who represent investors in arbitration proceedings against brokerage firms and financial professionals. His combination of legal training and an accounting degree informs his work on cases where financial detail matters.
Colleagues describe him as methodical and detail-oriented. He applies accounting concepts when reviewing trading records, statements and firm disclosures. He asks questions that track money and look for inconsistencies. He also attends hearings and arbitrations with an eye toward explaining complex transactional histories in clear terms for arbitrators and judges.
Marquardt established Marquardt Law Office LLC to provide clients a single point of contact for securities and investment-related disputes. The firm handles matters that require parsing of account activity, trade confirmations, margin reports and related documents. His approach emphasizes thorough document review and straightforward explanation of what the records show. He works to translate technical financial information into a narrative that decision-makers can follow.
Outside of casework he remains active in bar activities and professional organizations. His memberships in local and state bar groups keep him connected to legal developments in Illinois. His affiliation with the Public Investors Arbitration Bar Association keeps him involved with issues unique to investor arbitration and the regulatory landscape that surrounds brokerage conduct.
He lives and practices in the Chicago area and provides representation to clients who believe they have been harmed in brokerage or investment transactions. He currently practices at Marquardt Law Office LLC, representing investors in arbitration and related financial disputes.
