Our Founders

Eric Chaffin

Eric Chaffin previously served as a prosecuting attorney with the Business and Securities Fraud Department of the United States Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn. During his time as a federal prosecutor, Mr. Chaffin tried multiple cases and presented many arguments before the U.S. Court of Appeals Second Circuit. Notable cases tried by Mr. Chaffin include heavily-broadcasted corporate fraud prosecutions regarding securities and accounting, and criminal cases such as a securities fraud manipulation trial encompassing investor losses in excess of $20 million. Upon leaving his position at the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Mr. Chaffin became a partner at Seeger Weiss, LLP. Here, his practice focused on large-scale torts, consumer protection trials, single shareholder, and fraudulent securities class action suits. In succession, Mr. Chaffin became affiliated with a law practice listed in the National Law Journal. At this location, he was in charge of the firm’s mass torts department, focusing on securities litigation.

At this time, Mr. Chaffin only represents consumer clients, informants, and stockholders at hearings in state and national courts, as well as appeals courts across the U.S.
