Ledbetter & Associates is uniquely qualified to meet the needs of securities abuse victims in ensuring positive results and monetary renumeration.
If you believe that you have been a victim of securities fraud, Ledbetter & Associates is a powerful resource for help. You have rights which may provide you opportunities to recover losses from your brokerage firm. Many investors who have been victimized do not know what to do about their investment losses until it is too late.
We have represented clients throughout the world and recovered millions of dollars from firms who have wronged investors. Our firm represents individuals, corporations, and institutions (including pension funds) in the recovery of losses resulting from the misconduct of brokerage firms.
If your investment professional participated in investment fraud through the sale of proprietary investment products, made false promises about an investment, recommended or made decisions for you based on their own interests rather than yours, or provided you with misleading or fraudulent advice, you may have a viable claim for recovery of lost funds.
You should consult with a qualified securities attorney to determine if you have a claim which may be brought in arbitration before FINRA Dispute Resolution, Inc. (formerly known as NASD). We help investors of all types recover their losses. Please contact our offices for a no-cost, no obligation consultation.
Understanding Securities Arbitration
Arbitration is an alternative dispute resolution process. Instead of a judge and jury, a panel of one to three individuals hear the evidence and reach a decision regarding your claim for losses. Arbitration of securities related claims has dramatically increased since a United States Supreme Court decision in 1987 cleared the way for industry drafted arbitration agreements.
Don't be misled by a brokerage firm's irresponsible advice regarding your potential claim. It makes sense for you to contact an attorney with experience in handling securities claims.
