Securities Arbitration & Litigation

At West Legal Group PC, our goal is to help investors nationwide who have been harmed by mismanagement, negligence, or fraud. We will make sure that our clients are provided with the information required to make knowledgeable decisions about their investments and rights.

Many investors have sought out professional financial advice only to later discover that they did not get what was promised. Financial losses can dramatically and negatively impact your life. There are many ways in which investors can face losses in their investments. Some are not easily identifiable until it’s too late. Some of the common indicators or “red flags” may include:

AN ADVISOR OR BROKER WHO HAS….

  • Over concentrated your investment portfolio…?
  • Executed tardes without your authorization…?
  • Recommended unsuitable investments…?
  • Used margin loans excessively…?
  • Recommended private placements (Reg D)…?
  • Moved funds between variable annuities…?
  • Purchased highly leveraged ETFs…?
  • Failed to limit investment losses…?

These are just some of the reasons why you may need a security lawyer. CLICK HERE TO CONTACT US. The consultation is FREE and we will commit to a detailed review of your individual situation.

After performing detailed analysis and adopting forensic methods, we help our clients understand and explain their losses meticulously by applying the law appropriately.

FINRA ARBITRATION (Financial Regulatory Authority)

If you’ve invested with a licensed investment firm, advisor or stockbroker, you’ve likely agreed to a provision to arbitrate any disputes. These provisions are usually buried in the fine print of your account documents.

It is typically less costly and faster to use arbitration or mediation as a way to settle a dispute than to take a case to court. FINRA, facilitates almost all disputes / claims between investors and their brokers/advisors. FINRA operates the largest securities dispute resolution forum in the world, and has extensive experience providing a fair, efficient and effective place to handle a securities-related dispute. Investors and parties in the securities industry can all resolve disputes by arbitration or mediation through FINRA’s dispute resolution forum.

Below is what the process can look like once we’ve filed your claim:

As with any contractual dispute or civil claim, allowing too much time to pass may bar or prevent a claim in State courts or in a FINRA arbitration. If you believe you’ve been injured, please act quickly and have it reviewed sooner than later.

    He took his time and really worked with us to make sure we were informed.

    David helped explain how I needed to create and start my company from formation to getting investors. He took his time and really worked with us to make sure we were informed. He also stressed we get it right on the first go around as changing important issues later could be costly.

    We were told if David couldn’t understand these investments no one could. They were right.

    Our office brought David in to help with investment related problems associated with a large client. He was referred to us by another attorney in San Diego. We were told if David couldn’t understand these investments no one could. They were right. He met with us and took his time explaining the best way to handle. The client ended up hiring his firm also. We will be using him again.

    Their work pays close attention to the importance of having everyone on the same page and having the client in charge and fully informed.

    David and Tim have been retained by me for one year to negotiate significant domestic and international settlements, and they have shown and used when doing so the requisite skills which have moved settlements toward favorable results. They are at their best when preparing and evaluating cases, when using appropriate tactics, when using countermeasures, when making first offers, when in direct examinations, cross examinations, and when in the examination of expert witnesses. Their writing is marked by being direct and precise, by blending precision with simplicity. David and Tim are particularly sensitive to complex moral situations, where no rule of thumb applies, no simple appeal to a single principle can assure a rational outcome. In such an instance they can be counted on to sort out the conflicting factors to determine what law, rule, or principle bears upon the situation, and what are the relative urgencies which govern a timely action. David and Tim command a family of intellectual traits and abilities which allows them to cope with the unexpected, grasp relations, and solve problems with speed and originality. Especially pronounced among their intellectual traits is their ability to create a congenial, professional relationship with their clients wherein written reports are delivered without fail on a designate date to a designated site to coincide with or be separate from timely discussions. Their work pays close attention to the importance of having everyone on the same page and having the client in charge and fully informed. I am a retired California State Senator who has hired and dealt with a number of skilled attorneys at law in the private and public sector. I have place David and Tim among the best of them and have in writing this statement measured them against this lot.

    David helped my family recover against the firm and they settled before court date.

    A broker had placed my mother's retirement savings in several high risk investments that lost value almost immediately. We weren't aware of these investments until after she passed away. David helped my family recover against the firm and they settled before court date.
