I’m An Investor. How Should I File A Securities Fraud Claim in the US? Our Skilled Securities Law Firm Can Help You Explore Your Legal Options

Pursuing damages to recoup your investment losses caused by fraud or financial advisor misconduct can be a difficult process, which is why you need seasoned securities attorneys like the ones at Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas representing you. We have been fighting for US investors and foreign nationals against US-based broker-dealers and investment advisers for more than 30 years. Through our experienced efforts, we have helped thousands of investors to collectively recoup many millions of dollars through arbitration, mediation, or litigation.

Where Should I File Your Securities Lawsuit Against A Broker-Dealer?

This type of dispute with a registered broker-dealer is usually made in Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration. There, a panel of arbitrators will rule on your case. If you are successful, this could lead to an award for damages, as well the payment of your legal fees and other costs.

Our securities fraud attorneys represent investors who have sustained losses caused by broker fraud, unsuitability, misrepresentations and omissions, unauthorized trading, concentration, selling away, failure to supervise, negligence, and more. More than 90% of our clients have obtained full or partial financial recovery.

What If Your Securities Fraud Claim Can’t Be Brought In FINRA Arbitration?

If your investment fraud losses case cannot be made in FINRA arbitration, then you may have to go to court. Investors who are seeking damages may choose to file an individual lawsuit or join a class action securities case.

How Do I Know Which Legal Venue Is Right For My Securities Fraud Lawsuit?

It is important to know that most parties that should be held liable in a securities fraud lawsuit will likely be “lawyered up” themselves. This is just one more reason why you should have your own legal representation on your side advocating for you and protecting your legal rights.
