Our Atlanta securities lawyers are well-versed in FINRA arbitration and will vigorously advocate for your interests.

Securities Arbitration: What to Expect
For many investors, securities arbitration is the primary method for resolving disputes with brokers and financial institutions. FINRA oversees this process, which involves presenting your case to a panel of neutral arbitrators.
While arbitration can be faster and less expensive than traditional litigation, it requires a deep understanding of securities law and arbitration rules.
At Meyer Wilson, we have extensive experience representing clients in FINRA arbitration. An experienced Atlanta securities lawyer will handle every aspect of the process, from filing your claim to presenting evidence and advocating for your rights during hearings.
