The Recovery Process
The recovery process for victims of stock fraud and other fraudulent investment schemes usually depends on how successful the securities arbitration or FINRA arbitration claim. Nearly all claims must be resolved through arbitration, an alternate dispute resolution process that is conducted outside the courtroom. This is because broker agreements typically contain a clause that requires disputes to be resolved through arbitration. Essentially, investors must sign away the right to go to court.
Choosing a lawyer who understands the process of filing a claim is important. In his 30 years of legal experience, attorney Robert Hutchinson has dedicated much of his professional career to handling securities fraud matters. He has successfully achieved settlements for clients in claims involving negligent stock loss, stock churning, elder fraud and other securities disputes.\
Mr. Hutchinson recently won a $5 million settlement for his client in a case involving insufficient disclose of an investment.
Statute of Limitations
It is important to act as soon as possible and retain legal counsel because most securities matters involve a statute of limitations. The general time frame from filing a claim is two years after the discovery of fraud or five years from when fraud was committed — whichever comes first. In Colorado, the general statute of limitations is three years after the discovery of the fraud, but not to exceed five years.
Does the Statute of Limitations Always Apply?
No. In some cases, the statute of limitations can be suspended altogether. In cases involving a cover-up by the broker, there may be no statute of limitations. 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.
