How an Experienced Investment Loss Lawyer in Texas Can Help You Recover Damages
If you lost money that you invested due to any form of misconduct on the part of your financial advisor or brokerage firm, an experienced attorney can help you build a claim to recover compensation.
Your lawyer will investigate your case and gather evidence to support your compensation claim and prove fault. Once they have completed their initial investigation, they will build a strong case in support of your claim. They will then present your case to an arbitration panel or a court.
Most Investment Loss Recovery Case Are Resolved Using FINRA Arbitration
When pursuing damages in an investment loss recovery case, you should know that these cases are almost always handled through FINRA arbitration rather than through courtroom trials. When you sign an investment agreement with a financial advisor or brokerage firm, there will likely be a clause stating that any disputes that may arise will be resolved by arbitration.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is a government-authorized, not-for-profit organization charged with holding brokers and brokerage firms responsible for any illegal or unethical conduct. FINRA works to ensure that these parties uphold their fiduciary duty to their clients and create a fair marketplace.
With FINRA arbitration, investors can recover money far more quickly than would be possible if their case was resolved through a courtroom trial. For brokerage firms, the primary appeal of this form of alternative dispute resolution is that the proceedings are private. All FINRA arbitration rulings are legally binding, and only in rare cases can they be appealed.
