Were you defrauded or misled by your stockbroker or a brokerage firm? Was the safety of an investment misrepresented to you? There may be legal remedies that could enable you to get your investment losses back if you can prove wrongdoing such as the following:
- Churning
- Illegal Ponzi schemes
- Unauthorized trading
- Unsuitable investments
- Misrepresentation or omission of key facts
If you are bound to arbitrate your securities or otherwise have the right to arbitrate your investment loss case, you would do well to discuss the matter with an experienced attorney who can let you know where you are most likely to find relief.

Contact us in our Los Angeles, New York City, Miami or West Palm Beach office to learn how our attorneys may be able to help you recover your investment through legal action.
Did your stock broker or a brokerage treat your investments negligently, resulting in unjustified and substantial losses to you? You may have a legal claim against the broker or brokerage firm in one of the following manners:
- Through arbitration
- Through litigation
- Through a class action lawsuit
Arbitration May Be Faster but Offers Limited Chance for Dismissal or Appeal
Many securities fraud and investment loss cases must be resolved through arbitration. According to the contracts that you entered into when you opened your brokerage account, you may have no choice but to arbitrate. Arbitration means there generally can be no motions to dismiss the case, no summary judgments, no deposition testimony — and a final judgment in a relatively short amount of time, with very few rights to appeal.
Litigation Takes Longer, Costs More, and Has Different Risks
On the other hand, if your contract does not require arbitration and you choose to take your claim to court, you can expect greater expense, a longer time period, the possibility of a case dismissal and the possibility of an appeal of trial court decisions.
