Compensation You Could Recover in a Securities Case
Money doesn’t fix everything, but it can give you stability after a major financial loss. If your advisor was responsible for your losses, you may be able to seek compensation for the following:
- Lost principal: You may be able to recover the original amount of money you invested.
- Lost profits: You could be compensated for the gains you would have earned if the misconduct had not occurred.
- Interest: You may be entitled to interest on the money you lost.
- Legal costs and fees: In some cases, you may also recover the costs and fees associated with pursuing your claim.
Our securities attorney serving New York will evaluate your case and give you an honest assessment of what you may be owed. We don’t take cases unless we believe we can help you recover.
Our lawyers are nationwide leaders in investment fraud cases.
Warning Signs of Securities Misconduct and What to Do Next
Sometimes, it’s not easy to tell right away if a financial professional acted improperly. You might just notice that your account has lost value or that something doesn’t feel right.
Here are common signs that securities misconduct could be involved:
- Big, unexpected losses without a clear reason
- Investments you didn’t fully understand or weren’t explained clearly
- Frequent trading that seems unnecessary (this may be “churning”)
- Lack of diversification, with too much of your money in one risky area
- Pushy or aggressive sales tactics from your advisor
- Missing or unclear account statements
- Losses in investments your advisor said were “safe” or “guaranteed”
If you’ve experienced any of these red flags, it’s worth having your situation reviewed by a legal team that understands how financial professionals should operate.

What Is FINRA, and How Does It Work?
FINRA stands for the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. It is a government-authorized group that oversees investment firms and their registered financial professionals in the United States.
If you have a dispute with your advisor or a firm, you’ll likely need to resolve it by filing a FINRA arbitration or mediation claim rather than taking your case to a regular courtroom. Here’s a breakdown of the two most common FINRA processes:
- Arbitration: During this private hearing, you present your case in front of neutral arbitrators instead of a judge or jury. Once the arbitrators make a decision, it’s final and legally binding.
- Mediation: This is a voluntary process where both sides try to settle the case with the help of a trained neutral mediator. It’s less formal than arbitration and doesn’t result in a binding decision unless both sides agree.
Because most securities cases go through arbitration, it is important to have a lawyer who knows exactly how this system works.
How Meyer Wilson Prepares You for Arbitration or Mediation
At Meyer Wilson, we’ve handled hundreds of FINRA arbitration cases. We know how to build a strong case and understand the steps in preparing for a FINRA arbitration or mediation.
If your claim moves forward, here’s how we help:
- We investigate your account to find proof of misconduct or negligence.
- We handle all filings, deadlines, and paperwork for FINRA.
- We explain the process to you in plain language so that you always know what to expect.
- We prepare you for hearings or mediation sessions, including what questions you may be asked.
- We represent you during the process, standing up to the investment firm and its lawyers.
- We fight for maximum recovery based on what you’ve lost.
We know that taking legal action can feel like a lot to take on, especially when you’ve already experienced financial stress. That’s why we handle the hard work for you and ensure that you’re never left in the dark.
Common Types of Securities Misconduct in New York
An advisor can act improperly in many ways. Some of the most common include:
- Unsuitable investment recommendations: Advising you to invest in risky or inappropriate products
- Churning: Making excessive trades just to earn commissions
- Omissions and misrepresentations: Failing to tell you the risks or giving false information
- Failure to supervise: When a firm doesn’t monitor its financial advisors properly
- Overconcentration: Putting too much of your money into one investment or sector
- Selling away: Selling investments that aren’t approved or overseen by the investment firm
We Handle Cases Involving Financial Advisors Only
If a financial advisor involved you and your money in a pump-and-dump, crypto, or other fraudulent scheme—and you’ve suffered serious losses—you’re likely feeling frustrated and unsure how to recover.
While Meyer Wilson works to help clients recover losses and restore financial stability, our team can only take cases where a financial advisor was directly responsible for the misconduct.
Unfortunately, if an advisor was not involved in your investment into a pump and dump, crypto, or another scheme, the chances of our securities lawyers being able to help in your specific situation is extremely unlikely.
What to Expect During a New York Securities Case
Securities cases don’t go through regular courts like many other legal disputes. Most are handled in FINRA arbitration, a legal process used to settle disagreements with financial advisors and firms.
Here’s what you can expect:
- We investigate your case and gather evidence.
- We file your claim with FINRA, where most securities disputes are resolved through arbitration.
- Your advisor or firm responds, and a legal process begins.
- We handle all hearings and legal steps so that you don’t have to.
- We present your case in front of arbitrators (not a judge or jury).
- A decision is made, and if you win, you may be awarded financial damages.
You don’t need to go through this alone. We’ll be with you every step of the way.
What to Do If Investment Misconduct Caused Your Losses
If you believe a financial advisor acted negligently and caused your investment losses, here are a few things you can do now:
- Gather your documents: These can include investment statements, emails, contracts, and other paperwork related to your accounts.
- Write down what happened: Make a timeline of events and how the investments were explained to you.
- Don’t wait too long: These cases have strict time limits (called statutes of limitations).
- Don’t confront your advisor: Let your attorney do the talking and handle your legal matter on your behalf.
- Call us for a free review: We can tell you if your case qualifies.
