Key Facts To Know About Your San Francisco, CA Financial Advisor Fraud Lawsuit
- You definitely don’t want to try to resolve this dispute on your own by dealing directly with your financial advisor. Most brokerage firms and investment advisers will not easily admit to wrongdoing or negligence because they could then be liable to you.
- This is not the kind of legal claim you want to pursue without veteran securities lawyers by your side.
- Because you signed a predispute arbitration clause, your case will likely have to be brought in FINRA arbitration. We have successfully provided zealous representation to investors in this legal forum, as well as in mediation and in court.
- 70%-80% of securities arbitration cases are resolved via settlement and mutual agreement. Those that aren’t end up making their way through the entire arbitration process.
- If you do win your San Francisco financial advisor case in arbitration, the financial firm or registered representative that you sued will have 30 days from when the arbitration panel announced the award distribution to pay you. If the firm fails to make this deadline—unless the respondent sought to overturn the award—then FINRA will suspend the delinquent party.
- Guarantee of “winning” any legal case is never a given. It is dependent on the quality of the claim, the severity of the financial advisor fraud, the nature of the damages, who the arbitrators are, the experience of your legal counsel, and more. This is why who you end up hiring to represent you is so important.
What Makes Our San Francisco Financial Advisor Negligence Law Firm Stand Out
