Arbitration on Claims Under
The Texas Securities Act
The city of Nacogdoches is “The Oldest City in Texas” and has a long and fascinating history with evidence of civilization going back as far as 10,000 B.C. Modern-day Nacogdoches has a population of about 33,000 and sits about 76 miles southeast of Tyler off highway 259 and 59. More flags have flown over the city than the state of Texas, In addition to the 6 flags of Texas it also has seen the flag of the Magee-Gutierrez Republic, the Long Republic and the Fredonian Rebellion.
Our East Texas law office is conveniently located a short drive away from Nacogdoches in nearby Tyler, ready to serve Nacogdoches residents in all matters relating to securities law.
If you are a Nacogdoches resident and you have lost more money than you expected in your investments and stocks, please review our FAQ page that explains the types of possible broker fraud. Many people don’t know they have been defrauded and when they are told “that’s just how the market works” by their investment professional they believe it. On our FAQ page, firm founder Bryan T. Forman explains different types of stockbroker and securities fraud and what to look for, including false statements or omissions, suitability, churning, unauthorized trading, mutual fund fraud, selling away, over-concentration, PONZI schemes, and failure to follow directions. The Forman Law Firm, P.C. is highly experienced in securities arbitration, mediation, and litigation and seeks to recover lost investments for those victimized by broker misconduct. The firm also assists brokers and advisors in regulatory and enforcement proceedings and employment matters but will NOT represent a broker in defending a securities fraud claim from a customer.
Most investment fraud cases against stockbrokers are governed by mandatory arbitration provisions. Securities arbitration before FINRA is the most common way that disputes between customers and financial institutions are resolved. The arbitration rules of FINRA are unique, but the nuances of the FINRA arbitration practice are, perhaps, even more important to know. However, when there is no valid and binding arbitration provision between the customer and the firm, the customer’s claims may be pursued in state or federal court. In either forum, clients require an attorney experienced in the complex and sometimes arcane world of securities regulation that can also effectively communicate to the arbitrators or the jurors the essence of the case, from the filing of the claim all the way to the hearing before the panel of arbitrators or the jury. Clients should hire an attorney that spends the majority of their time in these types of cases. The Forman Law Firm is not a general practice firm that tells clients it can handle every legal problem. The Forman Law Firm is FOCUSED on securities fraud and legal issues in the securities industry. Forman Law Firm, P.C. has the needed experience.
The Forman Law Firm, P.C. founder, Bryan T. Forman, has spent the majority of his early career in the brokerage industry, serving as Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel for several brokerage firms which he founded. Mr. Forman is Tyler born and raised and a member of the State Bar of Texas and of the Smith County Bar Association.
