How Do I Get My Money Back?
That’s the question on most people’s minds when they contact our Denver law firm. “How do I get my money back?” Contacting an experienced securities litigation attorney is the first step. At the Hutchinson Law Firm in Denver, Colorado, we can represent clients throughout the United States in cases involving stock fraud and unsuitable investments. If you have legal concerns about the handling of your retirement account or other investments, contact a nationwide stock fraud attorney.
The recovery process for victims of stock fraud and other fraudulent investment schemes usually depends on a successful securities arbitration claim. Almost all investor – broker relationships secured with a brokerage agreement. Most of these agreements contain a standard provision requiring arbitration as the only form of dispute resolution. In effect, investment agreements require that you sign away your right to go to court.
The arbitration process is the usual forum to secure restitution in most claims involving negligent stock loss, stock churning, elder fraud, and other securities disputes. Our Denver law firm has helped clients secure successful settlements in securities disputes.
Are there time limits?
It is important to act as soon as possible. The statute of limitations under federal law is 5 years from the fraud, or 2 years after its discovery, whichever comes first. In Colorado, the general statute of limitations is 3 years after the discovery of the fraud, not to exceed 5 years. In some cases, the statute of limitations can be suspended altogether in cases involving a cover-up by the broker. While this is often the case, it is important to act quickly to minimize their problem and to avoid the loss or destruction of evidence.
If you have legal questions about a significant stock loss or investment failure in your retirement portfolio, a nationwide securities litigation attorney can help.
