Title: The Process of Securities Arbitration Explained
If you believe you’ve been the victim of broker fraud or misconduct, seeking justice and financial recovery may seem like a daunting task. However, at the Frankowski Firm Investment Loss Attorneys, we are dedicated to holding wrongdoers accountable and helping clients navigate the complexities of securities arbitration.
Our firm’s founding partner, Richard Frankowski, is a renowned securities and investment fraud attorney with a proven track record of obtaining large awards for financial injustice. With over two decades of experience, Richard and our team of investment fraud lawyers are well-versed in state and federal securities laws, as well as the rules set forth by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) that govern the securities arbitration process.
Securities arbitration is a method of resolving disputes between investors and their brokers or brokerage firms outside of the traditional court system. The process typically involves presenting the case before an arbitration panel, which consists of individuals selected by FINRA who are knowledgeable in securities law and industry practices.
At the Frankowski Firm, we guide our clients through each step of the securities arbitration process, ensuring that their rights are protected and advocating for fair and just outcomes. Here’s an overview of the securities arbitration process:
1. Filing the Claim: The arbitration process begins with the filing of a claim, outlining the allegations of broker fraud or misconduct and the damages suffered by the investor.
2. Selection of Arbitrators: A panel of arbitrators is selected to hear the case. These arbitrators are impartial individuals with expertise in securities law and are tasked with evaluating the evidence and making a fair judgment.
3. Pre-Hearing Discovery: Both parties have the opportunity to gather and exchange relevant information and evidence before the arbitration hearing.
4. Arbitration Hearing: The case is presented before the arbitration panel, with each party having the opportunity to present their arguments, call witnesses, and submit evidence.
5. Arbitration Award: Following the hearing, the arbitration panel deliberates and issues a decision, known as an arbitration award, which outlines the findings and any monetary damages awarded to the investor.
6. Enforcement of Award: If the arbitration panel rules in favor of the investor, the brokerage firm or broker is obligated to fulfill the terms of the arbitration award, providing the investor with the compensation they are entitled to.
Throughout the entire process, our team at the Frankowski Firm provides comprehensive legal representation, advocating for our clients’ best interests and working tirelessly to secure the justice and financial recovery they deserve.
