Chose your Lawyers Wisely.
While no special designation or certification as a specialist or certification in the field of practice in securities arbitrations or investment fraud litigation has been granted or approved by any state or the American Bar Association, many lawyers hold themselves out as “Investment Fraud Lawyers” or “Securities Arbitration Lawyers” when in fact, in some instances, these individuals have little or no experience in this area of the law, and are engaged in a variety of other endeavors including personal injury, workmen’s compensation, immigration, or medical malpractice. While no representation is made that the quality of legal services to be performed by us is greater than the quality of legal services to be performed by other lawyers, before you hire a securities arbitration lawyer or a lawyer professing to be an investment fraud lawyer, ask that person exactly how many securities fraud or investment fraud cases that they have handled.
Securities arbitration awards and the identity of counsel in these cases can be researched on-line Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. and you can find out exactly how many cases your potential lawyer has actually handled to a Final Hearing before NASD Dispute Resolution.
While certain very qualified lawyers may request that you advance NASD Securities Arbitration Filing Fees or NASD Securities Arbitration Hearing Costs, be very wary or skeptical if a professed securities arbitration lawyer asks you to advance legal fees or expert witness fees or costs simply to determine if you have a case. Check with your state or local bar association to determine if that person has ever been subject to client complaints or discipline for unethical or unprofessional conduct.

We handle all cases on a contingency fee basis meaning that there is no cost or obligation, unless we are able to make a recovery for you, and there is never any charge for a free consultation.
