Arbitration on Claims Under
The Texas Securities Act
Tyler, Texas is best known as the Rose Capital of the world. With an estimated population exceeding 100,000, Tyler is a comfortable, mid-sized city. Located in Smith County, Tyler is 90 miles east of Dallas, off Interstate 20 and straight down highway 69. Our Tyler law office is located near downtown Tyler off the corner of E. Houston St and S. Fannin Ave at 609 S. Fannin Ave. and is ready to serve East Texas residents in all matters relating to securities law. This office is limited to visits by appointment only.
If you are a Tyler or other East Texas 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 even know they have been defrauded and believe they just lost more money than they expected. 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. When your financial professional either violates state or federal law, or violates the rules and regulations put in place by the industry (FINRA), they can be held financially responsible for your losses and/or damages. In some cases, their firm may also be held financially responsible as well.
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, 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.
