Belfort Law, PLLC is a boutique law firm that exclusively represents individual and institutional investors that have suffered financial losses due to stockbroker misconduct, financial advisor negligence, and/or investment fraud. These investors include, but are not limited to, senior citizens, retirees, persons with cognitive decline, trusts, estates, inheritors, widowed persons, divorced persons, athletes, entertainers, and entrepreneurs. We advocate for these investors in arbitration forums around the nation before registered arbitrators from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), and “JAMS.” We leverage our deep experience in broker-dealer securities litigation, arbitration, and regulation to strategically litigate claims. We know the playbooks of the broker-dealers and financial advisors we litigate against. In addition, we understand the investments and the laws, rules, and regulations violated. As such, we are uniquely equipped to negotiate early settlements, file arbitration claims, handle discovery, navigate mediations, and take disputes through a final and binding arbitration trial. We represent investors in customer disputes on a contingency fee basis.
