Your professional services may be essential in helping our offices to prove damages in your client's case. Ainsworth-Sullivan has worked together with many accountants to help recover losses sustained due to unscrupulous brokers. Initial consultation is free of charge. At that time, we'll determine whether or not you have a valid claim for recovery. Because we work on a contingency fee basis, we charge no legal fees unless a recovery of funds is made.
Clients remain responsible for all costs and disbursements incurred in pursuing a client claim.
By providing the information contained in the Broker Law web site, Ainsworth-Sullivan does not expressly or impliedly agree to provide any legal advice or legal work product to any victimized investor with respect to any specific claim or claims. Investors should also note that statue of limitations for claims against securities brokerage firms and their brokers may serve to bar investor claims which are not filed in a timely fashion. Certain claims under the Federal Securities Law carry statute of limitations as short as one year and certain claims under New York State Common Law carry differing statute of limitations between 1 and 6 years, depending on the nature of the claim. Under certain circumstances, statute of limitations applicable to customer claims can be extended by certain tolling provisions or ongoing fraud being committed by a broker seeking to hide or cover up fraud or wrongdoing. Further, the arbitration rules of the Arbitration Department of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., and the New York Stock Exchange contain certain eligibility provisions which have, under certain circumstances, been interpreted to bar investors from filing claims more than 6 years after the date of a purchase transaction in question.
