Shepherd Smith Edward and Kantas Has Been Fighting For Texas Investors For Over 30 Years
Since 1990, our Dallas FINRA lawyers have been representing investors pursuing damages caused by broker fraud or negligence. With our unparalleled experience in securities litigation, Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com) has helped thousands of Texas investors, as well as investors throughout the United States, in obtaining financial recovery from their brokerage firms through arbitration, mediation, and litigation.
For many of our clients, this has meant filing a FINRA lawsuit against their broker-dealer, and possibly, their financial advisor. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration is the forum where your legal case will likely be heard. The reason why you are limited from going to court is you more than likely signed a pre-arbitration clause in your contract with the brokerage firm in which you agreed to arbitrate any dispute you had with them.
It is important to note that submitting a FINRA complaint, which alerts the self-regulatory organization (SRO) to the alleged broker misconduct or fraud, is not the same as filing a FINRA lawsuit. With the latter, you are seeking to recover damages for the harm that you may have suffered because of the wrongful or negligent actions of your financial advisor.

Is It Worth It To Hire Our Knowledgeable FINRA Law Firm?
Trying to resolve your broker negligence dispute directly with your broker-dealer and without legal representation could actually work against you. Most brokerage firms will not willingly admit to liability and it is not unusual for them to engage in delay tactics while ultimately refusing to settle. That is much more difficult to do when you have reputable securities lawyers who have your back.
Also, consider that most FINRA awards cannot be contested. This means that if you end up with an unfavorable award you are likely stuck with it. This is all the more reason why you need skilled Texas FINRA arbitration attorneys helping you from the start.
Brokerage firms throughout the US know who we are and because of the awards, settlements, and damages we’ve secured for investors over the years, they know to take us seriously when they find us on the opposite side of the room during an arbitration hearing. More than 90% of investors we have worked with have obtained full or financial recovery with our help.
