What Should You Expect When Filing A FINRA Lawsuit? Our Securities Arbitration Attorneys Represent Investors In Suing Their Brokers

If you are an investor who is pursuing damages from your financial advisor, then you will likely have to file your claim in Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration. It is similar to court in that you will have to submit initial pleadings specifying your allegations, is entitled to discovery to build evidence supporting your case, and—if a settlement isn’t reached first—there will be a final evidentiary hearing where both sides will present evidence and examine/cross-examine witnesses. However, unlike a court case, a panel of arbitrators, not a jury or judge, would issue the ruling and you will have virtually no ability to appeal the decision if it is not in your favor.

These are just some of the reasons why it is so important that you are properly represented by Securities Arbitration Attorneys. At Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com), we work with investors against their brokers who engaged in unsuitable investment recommendations, excessive trading, concentration, misrepresentations and omissions, negligence, and more. We understand the difference between a court case and an arbitration claim and the specific strategies and approaches needed to maximize your chances for full financial recovery in each legal forum. s
