Reasons to Hire a Securities Lawyer
A Massachusetts securities attorney understands how challenging it is to receive compensation from anyone liable for investment misconduct. Reasons why victims of investment misconduct get legal representation include:
Access to Legal Knowledge and Insights
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) have rules and other directives governing the securities industry.
Securities lawyers explain how these regulations impact your investments. They determine if any laws and industry standards were violated relative to your case.
Assistance With Filing a Claim and Gathering Evidence to Support It
You are unsure of how to file a complaint with the SEC and if it is worth the time and effort to do so. A securities lawyer serving Massachusetts walks you through the claims process. They describe what can happen at each stage. Plus, your attorney collects financial documents and other proof to make it clear as to why you should receive compensation.
Guidance During FINRA Arbitration and Mediation
FINRA arbitration and mediation are both viable options for settling a securities claim. A securities lawyer answers questions about how long FINRA arbitration can take, if mediation is voluntary, and similar topics. They help you weigh the pros and cons of arbitration and mediation and make an informed decision about whether to proceed with either one.
Meyer Wilson offers legal representation for a wide range of securities claims. However, if your broker or adviser has no involvement in a pump and dump, crypto, or other investment activities, it is extremely unlikely that we can help you in your specific situation.
Legal Representation Available for a Securities Claim
Your legal representation can make or break your securities claim. Choose a securities attorney serving Massachusetts who has a track record of great case results. Lawyers to consider to help you with your claim include:
- Massachusetts FINRA arbitration lawyers: Think twice before you go through the FINRA arbitration process alone. Have an attorney craft an argument to show an arbitration panel that your claim is valid and that you should be compensated accordingly.
- Massachusetts Ponzi scheme lawyers: A Ponzi scheme has long-lasting ramifications on all who invest money with the hopes of generating significant returns. Allow an attorney to identify the parties behind a Ponzi scheme and prove they should have to provide you with money for your losses.
- Massachusetts financial advisor breach of fiduciary duty lawyers: You expect a financial advisor to look out for your best interests. If an advisor has a fiduciary duty to you and violates this obligation, an attorney can help you take legal action against them.
- Massachusetts financial advisor negligence lawyers: It is negligent for a financial advisor to handle your money carelessly. An attorney can argue that a financial advisor was negligent with your money and, as a result, they should be required to provide you with compensation.
- Massachusetts stockbroker failure to execute orders lawyers: You order a stockbroker to sell or buy a stock or execute a stop-loss order, and they decide not to do so. An attorney can submit a failure to execute securities claim for you.
Ultimately, you could have only one chance to recover compensation from anyone liable for investment misconduct. Make the most of this opportunity by working with a securities lawyer who fights for compensation for you against even the most powerful adversaries.
What Options Do You Have to Resolve a Massachusetts Securities Claim?
Many securities claims are resolved through arbitration. During this process, you bring your claim to a panel of one to three arbitrators. Both sides present their respective arguments. The arbitration panel decides if you will receive compensation. This decision is typically final and binding.
Mediation is an alternative to arbitration. It gives you more control and predictability than what you have in the arbitration process. With mediation, you and the other party agree to have a neutral third party, a mediator, help you agree to terms.
It pays to have a lawyer on your side, regardless of whether you proceed with mediation or arbitration. Your attorney goes over mediation vs. securities arbitration with you. No matter which one you choose, your lawyer advocates for you and protects your legal rights throughout the claims process.
