Excessive trading is defined by several factors that weigh the actions taken by your broker or financial advisor, including the cost-to-equity ratio and turnover rate of your account. When brokers use marketing timing strategies to increase revenue they can create a drag on your account that costs you money. If you suspect you’ve been a victim of churning, excessive trading, and margin abuse, book a consultation today.
Your broker or financial advisor owes you a duty of care. If you suffer financial loss because your advisor left you overexposed and failed to properly allocate and diversify your assets, you may have a case. Get in touch today so we can explore your options.
Many investors have the right to pursue all kinds of losses through arbitration. If you’ve lost money as a result of negligence, misrepresentation, or fraud, you may be able to recover your investment through FINRA arbitration. Most brokerage firms include binding arbitration clauses in their contracts, where investors waive their right to sue in a court of law. Instead, wronged investors should file a claim through FINRA Dispute Resolution. Kantas Law has handled numerous FINRA arbitration cases, including winning one of the highest settlement awards in FINRA history. Book a consultation today to discuss how you can make a claim.
Unsuitable or high risk investments, often known as alternative investments, including Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and oil and gas limited partnership investments, also known as MLPs. If your financial advisor sold you alternative investments under the guise of portfolio diversification and you lost money, you may have a claim.
“Mr. Kantas was the lead attorney in a FINRA arbitration case I was involved with against a large Wall Street brokerage firm. I did not know what to expect at the beginning of the case, but it soon became clear that I had the best legal representative I could hope for. He was professional, well spoken, and clearly had prepared extensively well. He brought forth a well organized team of expert witnesses, clear concise written and oral arguments that won our case. He and the team were honest with expectations and were transparent as to strategy and options, which are not easy when dealing with the minutiae of finance law. He had my back every step of the way. I very much appreciated having the best legal fighter in the courtroom, on my side.”
"As the former CEO of a public company, I have encountered and worked with many lawyers over the years. Robert Kantas is the best of the best. He is the most effective combination of profound intelligence, tireless work ethic, compulsive attention to detail and creative thinking that I have ever found. Kantas lived and breathed my case and achieved results to match. I am forever grateful to him and would highly recommend his outstanding counsel."
