Objective

Former lawyer with significant law firm experience recovering from the effects of a wrongful federal prosecution ten years ago. Currently seeking readmission to the Michigan and Georgia Bars which will take approximately a year. Seeking paralegal opportunities in the interim. Formerly admitted to the MI, NC and GA bars while practicing law for 30+ years. I stood trial in federal court in 2010 for investment fraud charges actually perpetrated by a former client who has since fully recanted his perjured testimony. Even so, due to my conviction my bar licenses were revoked and I am now seeking readmission and a paralegal opportunity in the interim. I have practiced law as a sole practitioner most recently concentrating my practice in the field of securities regulation and SEC enforcement defense, both administrative and federal court litigation. I also conducted an active practice representing public companies with respect to their 34’ Act filing responsibilities and taking companies public and listing them on either stock exchanges or over-the-counter markets. As a result of my securities practice I have significant complex federal litigation experience most of which was against the SEC or other government agencies. I also have approximately ten years of FOIA litigation experience and criminal post-conviction litigation experience. Experience

March 1979 to December 1988—Jason, Kowalski, Pugh, Poch & Bartko Civil and criminal trial practice in this Alpena, MI based law firm. I was a member of the State Bar of Michigan from July 1979 to November 2010. This law firm has since dissolved due to the death of its founding partner.

August 1989 to April 1991---Cannon & Blair, P.C

Associate Attorney in this Charlotte, North Carolina law firm. Brought in to build a securities regulation practice primarily focusing on early-stage public companies and bank holding companies located in North Carolina. This law firm as since dissolved due to the loss of one of the founding partners.

April 1991 to June 1994—Reynolds, Bryant, Patterson & Covington, LLP Associate-level attorney in this multi-city North Carolina based law firm hired to assist in growing the firm’s securities regulatory practice and civil litigation associate related to securities regulation in this firm. Primary responsibilities were to expand the firm’s responsibilities in providing securities regulatory advice and guidance to an expanding North Carolina-based bank holding company. June 1994 to July 1996--Graham & James, LLP

Partner in this 400-lawyer multistate law firm based in San Francisco, CA, with offices located in major U.S. metropolitan locations as well as in several international cities, including the first American law firm based in Tokyo, Japan. At the time, this firm had an office in Raleigh, NC which was subsequently closed, after which I was requested to relocate to Atlanta, GA to establish a merger partner to establish an Atlanta, GA office of the firm. This firm later dissolved and was merged into several other national law firms.

August 1996 to June 1997—Glass, McCullough, Sherrill & Harold Securities regulatory practice partner in this 120-lawyer Atlanta, GA based law firm. This firm apparently was in distress at the time, since not long after my joining the firm it began to break apart with groups of partners leaving and joining other Atlanta GA-based law firms. September 1997 to November 2010—Law Office of Gregory Bartko, LLC Established a sole proprietorship to continue the growth of my securities regulatory and SEC civil enforcement defense practice followed later by expansion into a multi-lawyer Atlanta, GA based firm in 2006. Also conducted an investment banking business through a majority-owned fully SEC registered broker-dealer and investment advisor, Capstone Partners, L.C. Registered with the SEC as a broker-dealer, Series 24 principal of the firm, and held investment banking and investment advisory licenses, all of which were necessary for compliance with state and Federal SEC regulations to conduct an investment banking business. Was admitted to practice before numerous Federal District Courts, Courts of Appeal and the Supreme Court of the United States. Education
