FINRA Arbitration for Investors Nationwide
We don’t just dabble in FINRA arbitration – it’s all we do. Period.
Altamirano PLLC represents defrauded investors in securities arbitration nationwide. That singular focus allows us to go deeper, act faster, and stay ahead of the curve for harmed investors.
What we do
Regulation Best Interest (Reg BI)
Investors who suffered losses due to Reg BI violations or other broker misconduct can pursue recovery through FINRA arbitration. Reg BI also strengthens traditional claims by giving investors a clear standard to prove that a broker’s conduct fell short of what the rule requires. Common claims include unsuitable recommendations, failure to disclose conflicts, negligent supervision, misrepresentation or omission of material facts, and breach of duties owed under Reg BI.
Alternative Investments
Alternative investments are often sold as safe, income-generating opportunities but in reality can be illiquid, high-risk, and misrepresented by brokers. Altamirano PLLC represents investors nationwide in FINRA arbitration to recover losses caused by unsuitable or fraudulent alternative investments.
Breach of Fiduciary Duty
Brokers must act in their clients’ best interests. When they put their own interests first, churning accounts for commissions or pushing proprietary products to generate fees, you may have a claim for breach of fiduciary duty.
Broker Negligence
Broker negligence occurs when a financial advisor or firm fails to meet the required standard of care. Failure to conduct due diligence, failure to diversify, or failure to execute trades can lead to significant losses. We investigate negligent conduct and pursue recovery when substandard advice or execution causes you harm.
Failure to Supervise
Firms must actively supervise their brokers and maintain systems to ensure compliance with securities laws. When lax supervision leads to misconduct causing investor losses, the firm can be held liable. We pursue claims against firms that fail to detect and stop rogue advisors.
Fraud or Misrepresentation
Brokers who misrepresent material information, make false statements, or omit critical facts deceive investors. We trace deceptive pitches, whether oral or in writing, and help you bring a FINRA claim to recover losses from investments built on fraudulent misrepresentations and omissions.
Robinhood & Self-Directed Investor Claims
Trading restrictions, platform outages, and related misconduct on self-directed investment platforms can disrupt your strategy and lead to significant losses. During the 2021 GameStop short squeeze, several online brokers restricted trading at critical moments. We represent traders in claims against fintech brokers for negligence, system failures, and other securities violations.
Securities Violations
Federal and state laws provide clear protections for harmed investors, prohibiting misrepresentation, deceit, and fraud. Advisors and firms often violate these rules and fail to act in their clients’ best interests. Our team investigates these violations and pursues all available claims under federal, state, SEC, and FINRA rules to recover your investment losses.
Selling Away
"Selling away” occurs when a broker sells investments not approved or vetted by their firm. FINRA strictly prohibits this practice because it bypasses due diligence and exposes investors to unvetted, risky investments. We aggressively pursue claims against brokers who engage in selling away to hold them accountable and help investors recover their losses.
