A securities lawyerassists scores of retirees and investors recover millions of dollars in losses from stocks, mutual funds, real estate, and insurance products, such as annuities. Securities attorneys are skilled in recovering investment losses from stockbrokers and brokerage houses through direct negotiation, mediation, and when necessary, arbitration, and litigation. We have a team of experienced financial experts, including accountants and financial planners, who will thoroughly investigate and identify all financial losses. And we do everything possible to reduce the emotional and financial stress these claims impose on our securities law clients. Federal and state laws prohibit the misconduct of stockbrokers and financial planners. Brokers may not: Recommend unsuitable stocks or mutual funds; Engage in unnecessarily buying and selling stocks or mutual funds churning; Fail to follow your instructions; and Act without your authority or permission. If you have suffered a financial loss because of a broker's wrongful conduct, you have the right to make a claim to recover the money you lost, your attorney fees, and other costs. Most investor claims are prosecuted through Financial Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration proceedings at the closest FINRA office to the investors home, usually a major American city. International clients with brokerage accounts at FINRA registered firms in the United States or in Europe ordinarily file a claim for relief in arbitration at locations within the United States.
