Questions We Hear Every Day
Investors who have lost money often have the same urgent questions. Here are the answers — straight from our attorneys.
Full FAQ PageSEC receiverships, FINRA process, investor rights & more
My broker lost my money. Do I have a case?
Possibly. If your broker recommended unsuitable investments, churned your account, misrepresented risks, or placed you in products that benefited them over you, you may have a FINRA arbitration claim. The threshold question is whether the loss resulted from misconduct — not just a bad market. We evaluate this for free.
Read more on our FAQ page →What is FINRA arbitration and how does it work?
FINRA arbitration is a private dispute resolution process for investor claims against broker-dealers and financial advisors. It is typically faster and less expensive than court litigation. Cases are decided by a panel of arbitrators, and awards are final and binding. Most securities claims must go through FINRA — not a courtroom.
Read more on our FAQ page →I lost money in a crypto scam. Can I recover it?
It depends on how the fraud occurred. If a platform, exchange, or advisor was involved, there may be legal recourse. We have recovered losses from exchange failures, fraudulent crypto investment schemes, SIM swap attacks, and unauthorized account transfers. Time matters — contact us as soon as possible.
Read more on our FAQ page →What is the statute of limitations on securities fraud?
Under federal law, most securities fraud claims must be filed within 2 years of discovering the fraud, and no later than 5 years after the violation. FINRA arbitration claims generally have a 6-year eligibility window from the event. Missing these deadlines can permanently bar your claim — don't wait.
Read more on our FAQ page →My financial advisor put me in bad investments. What are my options?
If your advisor recommended investments that were unsuitable for your age, risk tolerance, or financial situation, you may have a claim for negligence or fraud. Advisors have a legal duty to act in your best interest. Claims are typically brought through FINRA arbitration against the advisor's firm. We can review your account statements and determine if misconduct occurred.

No Recovery. No Fee. It's simple.
This structure is not a marketing slogan. It is a deliberate alignment of interests. When we take a case, we invest our time, expertise, and firm resources with the same objective as our clients: recovery. If a case fails, our law firm fails with it.
We evaluate cases carefully before accepting them, because we are assuming the financial risk of litigation alongside our clients. If we proceed, it is because we believe the law supports accountability and that recovery is realistically achievable.

What Our
Clients Say
Jeff Saxon represented me on a securities claim. I can't speak highly enough about the experience. Jeff is very professional, creative in his thinking and easy to work with. I appreciated his ability to recognize when to be aggressive in making the case but also his honesty with me about how far things could be pushed. The end result was very good and I would absolutely use Jeff and MDF again should the occasion arise.
