The Ferraro Law Firm is proud to announce that attorney Natalia Salas has been appointed Plaintiff’s lead counsel for the Robinhood trading restrictions multidistrict litigation (MDL).
The law firm previously filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of Robinhood users who allege the company illegally halted purchases of stock shares on January 28, 2021 in order to protect the interests of Wall Street institutions over smaller retail investors. This occurred when a group of Reddit users now famously decided to purchase GameStop stock in an effort to raise its price, betting against the hedge funds who were allegedly attempting to short the stock in order to make a profit.
All Robinhood lawsuits have since been consolidated in an MDL in the Southern District of Florida, which is overseen by U.S. District Judge Cecilia Altonaga. It is broken up into four groups, or “tranches.” Attorney Salas will oversee the Robinhood tranche.
“I am honored, humbled, and excited by Judge Altonaga’s appointment as Lead Counsel over the Robinhood tranche, where the majority of the complaints in this MDL fall, and which we successfully advocated should be litigated here in Miami,” said attorney Salas.
“That said, no one lawyer is handling the case by him or herself. I will lead this case alongside my peers, who have shown majority support for my application, backed by The Ferraro Law Firm and its capable and experienced attorneys, including my partners, Jim Ferraro and James Ferraro, Jr., attorney Angelica Novick, my co-counsel, Sean Burstyn and Jeff Kwatinetz, and Special Counsel, Professor Bruce Rogow.”
Responsibilities of the lead counsel include, but are not limited to:
- Presenting the position of the Plaintiffs to the Court during pretrial proceedings.
- Coordinating discovery on behalf of Plaintiffs.
- Coordinating settlement discussions.
- Convening meetings of the Steering Committee.
- Briefing and arguing motions on behalf of Plaintiffs and in opposition to Defendants.
Judge Altonaga issued the leadership announcement on May 18, 2021, which you can read in its entirety here.
Plaintiffs and their legal counsel will benefit from attorney Salas’s leadership and expert guidance, as she has successfully represented multiple clients in high-stakes and complex commercial litigation disputes and arbitrations. Recently, she was recognized as a 2021 Florida Super Lawyer Rising Star and a Lawyer of Distinction.
“I am highly confident in the merits of this case and feel strongly that success here will ultimately turn on how effectively we all work together to prosecute the claims against Robinhood,” said attorney Salas.

Through meticulous case preparation, empathetic counsel, and strategic representation, our attorneys build compelling cases that secure meaningful settlements to cover medical expenses, provide financial relief, and offer a path toward stability during difficult times.
To the general public searching for a competent aggressive law firm, I must recommend The Ferraro Law firm. After my first consultation with this firm, it was clear this was the right firm to handle my case.
I had tried a few others but was not impressed. In fact, the others made me feel like just a number. I’m a licensed general contractor with many years of experience. The main thing in my business success is, and has been, communication.
Ferraro Law has given me the very best communication I could ask for. As we all know, things don’t always happen overnight. This is where communication comes in.
My thanks to the Ferraro Law firm for transparency and diligent attention to all the details in my case.
I recommend them highly with a five star rating. 10 if I could.

I had a truly positive experience working with Ferraro Law Firm, especially Berta, who supported me every step of the way. From the beginning, she was kind, patient, and very clear in her communication. She set realistic expectations and checked in with me often, which made a big difference during a time that felt overwhelming in my personal life.
Receiving a settlement sounds like it should be simple, but it can actually be a lot to process. Berta made everything feel manageable. The process of signing documents and receiving my settlement was smooth and stress-free, and I always felt reassured that everything was being handled properly.
What stood out to me the most was how considerate and understanding she was of me as a person, not just a case. As a mother, that meant a lot. I truly felt supported throughout the entire experience.
I’m very grateful for the help I received and would absolutely recommend Ferraro Law Firm to anyone looking for professionalism, guidance, and genuine care during a legal process.
