Of those favorable cases, the arbitration panel on average awarded over 95 percent of the amount requested.

However, our proven track record of achieving results on behalf of investors, assists in maximizing the results on behalf of our clients either through direct settlement, mediation or trial.

What Is Securities Arbitration and How Can It Help?

Securities arbitration resolves disputes you have with your broker or investment advisor without using the courts. The process is similar to a trial in court, except that there is an arbitration panel that decides the case, not a jury. Virtually all securities arbitration disputes are filed with Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), a self regulatory organization (SRO).

Did You Sign a Contract to Arbitrate Disputes?

If you signed an arbitration agreement — this would be a small clause embedded in your larger financial agreement — with your stock broker or your financial investment advisor, you must arbitrate your stock broker fraud, churning, excessive sales, unsuitable investments or other legal matters. If you did not sign a document with an arbitration clause, you may choose to arbitrate or to litigate. Our Suffolk County and Manhattan lawyer can help you determine which avenue will be the best for you.

The firm has recouped millions of dollars on behalf of both institutional and individual investors who have been victims of securities fraud.
