If you have experienced investment fraud, you may have a right to recover you money and damages. Specialist securities attorneys can fight to recover your monies on your behalf.

  Disputes between clients and brokers are usually not resolved in the courts, but though arbitration. Arbitration is s a process in which one or more independent arbitrators hear evidence from the parties to a dispute as opposed to taking the dispute to a government court and having a judge decide. Arbitrators are independent and chose by consent of the parties to resolve the dispute. Arbitration is generally a much faster and less expensive means of resolving a dispute than using a civil court.

  Disputes between customers and their brokers are generally subject to arbitration because most brokerage firms use arbitration agreements as a condition to establishing a brokerage account. When you create an account at a brokerage, the contract will invariably contain an arbitration clause that requires as a condition of opening or maintaining an account that you agree to use arbitration to resolve disputes with your broker, rather than sue through the courts.

The agreement will say something such as:

"I agree to settle by arbitration any controversy between myself and [the brokerage firm or its agents] relating to the Account Agreement, my Account, or account transactions, or in any way arising from my relationship with [the brokerage firm or its agents] as provided in... the Account Agreement."
