Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas Has A Securities Law Firm in Gulfport and Represents Mississippi Investors Against Brokerage Firms
If you are a Mississippi investor who is wondering whether your broker-dealer and their financial advisor played a part in causing your portfolio losses, you will want to speak with our knowledgeable Gulfport FINRA lawyers. We can help you determine whether you have grounds for filing a securities lawsuit against the firm.
Your broker-dealer and financial advisor should be registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), which has a forum where you would likely go to resolve your dispute. The reason for this is that when you agreed to the contract to work with your broker you also probably signed a clause in which you consented to resolve any disagreements through FINRA arbitration.
Although less costly, complex, and time-consuming than going to court, the arbitration process has its own set of rules. This is why it is important that you are represented by skilled FINRA arbitration attorneys that know how to navigate this forum and can obtain successful case outcomes for investors.
