Representing Investors
Wall Street is a heavily regulated industry. However, as a customer, it is sometimes difficult to determine whether or not something improper was done in your account. Even when you know something improper was done, its not always easy to figure out what you can do to protect your rights. Our attorneys understand the way Wall Street works, and have the insight and experience to guide clients through their cases. Most customer disputes must be arbitrated and may not be litigated in court. It is important to have an attorney who understands the arbitration process and can effectively represent you within that process. The Law Offices of Brent A. Burns offers that skill and knowledge.
Smoothing the Transition
When a broker moves from one firm to another, it is not always a smooth ride. There may be restrictions on what information you may take with you; there may be restrictions on what business you may do at your new firm; you may owe money on a promissory note to your old firm; your old firm may owe you money. You need a lawyer that can work with your old firm and your new firm so that you can continue to do your business. The Law Offices of Brent A. Burns has the experience necessary to make the transition as smooth as possible.
