Why You Should Use an Actual Attorney in Securities Litigation

A group of attorneys who advocate for investors is trying to change all that. PIABA (Public Investors Arbitration Bar Association) recently issued a lengthy report on the negative impact non-attorney representatives (or, NARs, as they call them) have on investor interests.

FINRA Disciplinary Action Report - December 2017

Each month, the agency that regulates the financial industry, FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority), produces a detailed report that runs down all disciplinary actions recently taken against brokerage firms and brokers.

We strongly encourage any investor who suspects their broker and/or broker-dealer of having lost them money on dubious terms to at least skim this report to see if you recognize any names, schemes, products, or securities.

Stock Broker Complaints - Your Best Defense

For years a battle has been waged between investors (and their advocates - ie, attorneys) and the broker-dealer industry over whether brokers have a fiduciary duty to their clients. A fiduciary duty is a legal obligation to act solely and faithfully in another’s best interest, typically a client’s best interest. Brokerage firms however will often insist, during a dispute over misconduct or malfeasance, that they do not have such a duty; that they are rather simply order-takers executing the wishes of their clients.
