Why You Should Get a Lawyer to Help You with Your Securities Case
An Idaho securities attorney understands how frustrating it is to suffer significant financial losses due to another party’s misconduct. They describe what case results are possible if you move forward with a securities claim. Your attorney gathers financial documents and other evidence to strengthen your case. They advocate for you at each stage of your legal proceedings.Â
Your lawyer keeps the lines of communication open. If you are unsure of what to do at any point during your case, your attorney can share their legal knowledge and insights with you. That way, you can make informed legal decisions. Plus, you can avoid mistakes that otherwise hurt your chances of getting the optimal case outcome.Â
The Meyer Wilson team can teach you about the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations that apply to your case and other legal topics. Unfortunately, if your broker or adviser is not involved in your pump and dump or similar investment activities, it is unlikely that we can help you with your case.
Idaho Securities Cases We Handle
You check out the reviews of a securities lawyer serving Idaho and assess other factors as you debate whether to proceed with a claim. Ultimately, our lawyers are available to represent you in numerous types of securities cases, including:
- FINRA arbitration: You have no idea what FINRA’s arbitration process entails or if it provides a viable path for you to get money for your losses. An attorney can answer your questions about arbitration and bring your case in front of an arbitration panel.Â
- Financial advisor negligence: You expect your financial advisor to be cautious with your money. If this advisor acts recklessly or carelessly and you lose money due to their actions, an attorney can request compensation from them on your behalf.
- Ponzi scheme: Losing money in a Ponzi scheme makes you question what to do from here. An attorney can describe how to ask for compensation from any parties liable for the scheme.Â
- Stockbroker failure to execute orders: Your stockbroker refuses to buy or sell a stock for you after you submit a request for them to do so. An attorney can pursue compensation from this broker since they chose not to execute your order.Â
- Unauthorized trading: Your stockbroker completes trades on your account without your permission. An attorney can help you secure compensation from this broker.Â
A securities attorney serving Idaho can discuss exactly how they will handle your case. Ideally, your attorney knows the ins and outs of FINRA arbitration and mediation. They can get you compensation through either of these processes.Â
How the Securities Claims Process Works
FINRA arbitration is commonly used for securities claims. With arbitration, your lawyer argues your case to a panel of up to three arbitrators. The panel also hears the other party’s argument. Next, the panel makes a decision on whether you will receive compensation. This decision is final and binding.Â
You could use mediation instead of arbitration for your securities case. In mediation, a neutral third party listens to both parties. This mediator attempts to find common ground between the parties in the hopes that a settlement can be reached.Â
Idaho securities lawyers simplify the claims process. They walk you through each step and address any concerns you have along the way. With your attorney’s guidance, you could receive fair compensation for your losses.Â
