San Diego, California, Investment Disputes Attorney

While the focus of our practice is business litigation and real estate litigation, we also have a unique background in arbitration within the securities industry. At the Law Offices of Peter Shenas in San Diego, California, we have successfully represented investors in investment disputes with their broker/dealer through the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) or New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) arbitration process. We also represent registered securities representatives in disputes with their broker/dealer employer.

Experience in Arbitrating Investment Disputes

Peter Shenas, the founder of our firm, is a former National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) arbitrator. In addition, he is currently an arbitrator serving on the American Arbitration Association’s Commercial panel, recognized as the largest provider of arbitration services in the world. In those capacities, he has acquired a valuable background into the arbitration process. This background and experience has enabled him to successfully represent clients in disputes required by law to be resolved through the arbitration process rather than court litigation.

Forced Into Arbitration to Resolve an Investment Dispute

At the Law Offices of Peter Shenas we represent investors against their securities broker for the recovery of damages based on the broker’s negligence or other malfeasance in the handling of the client’s investments. Typically the wrongdoing is based on churning or inappropriate investments. The typical agreement between the investor and the broker entered into at the opening of the investment account requires that any disputes between the investor and the broker be resolved through an arbitration process governed by, and conducted pursuant to, the rules of the NASD or the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Essentially, that contract prohibits the aggrieved party from taking the investment to court.

Arbitrating a Trading or Investment Dispute With Your Broker

Following the initial meeting and our determination that you have sufficient grounds upon which to base a claim for damages, we will file for arbitration in forums sponsored by the NASD or the NYSE. These entities have their own arbitration system, rules, and panels of arbitrators. You can rely on us to bring experience in securities arbitration to successfully resolve your investment disputes. Our founder, Peter Shenas, brings the same diligent approach to the arbitration process that brought him success in litigating business matters in the courtroom.
