The Georgia securities arbitration attorneys of Gana Weinstein LLP specialize in representing individuals and institutions involved in securities arbitrations within the state of Georgia and in arbitration proceedings before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
By the time clients first retain us, many of them have suffered insurmountable financial losses in their portfolios. Many clients have difficulty understanding where their funds have gone, how their broker permitted such losses to occur in the first place, and what their investments are currently worth. While most FINRA arbitrations in Georgia occurs in Atlanta, our Georgia securities and investment fraud attorneys represent investors in Augusta, Columbus, Savannah, Athens, Sandy Springs, Macon, Roswell, Albany and Johns Creek.
Our Georgia securities arbitration attorneys focus on FINRA arbitrations. Most of our claims relate to unsuitable investment strategies by brokers and investment professionals. We also specialize in cases of churning (excessive trading), securities fraud, failure to supervise and unauthorized trading.
Investors in Georgia are protected by legislative laws and statutes in conjunction with industry rules that prohibit brokers from engaging in fraud, unsuitable sales, churning, unauthorized trading, failure to supervise, breach of fiduciary duty, or negligence. Below are useful links and resources covering some of the investor protections available in the State of Georgia:
Although Georgia is the 15th state to adopt a securities regulation based on Uniform Securities Act of 2002, state securities regulators rarely reimburse investors as a result of an enforcement action. By hiring an experienced securities and investment fraud attorney to pursue their claim, investors have the best chance to be compensated. The securities attorneys of Gana Weinstein LLP can help clients determine if investment losses were the result of normal market forces or misconduct by Wall Street. We apply a detailed and forensic approach to understanding your investment activity to explain those losses and apply the appropriate law to advance your claims.
In many cases, broker-dealers and investment advisers simply sell novel investment products in order to garner large commissions for them regardless of the investor’s willingness to withstand the large losses. Some of our clients are sold novel and exotic investment products that are only appropriate for a small group of sophisticated investors willing to take excessive risk. In other cases, clients’ approach us with account statements containing voluminous and complex trading activity in which they are unable to determine the actual losses suffered. Many times, indecipherable account statements are set up to cover up excessive trading activity and risk.
