How do you charge for your services?
Nearly every case we handle is on a contingency fee basis, meaning we are only paid if we recover funds for you through settlement, trial, or arbitration. If we are unable to recover funds on your behalf, you do not owe us anything for our time.
What is your success rate?
For cases involving financial advisor fraud or mismanagement, when we decide to take on a case and file a FINRA arbitration, we have achieved a near 100% success rate. While that may sound too good to be true, it reflects our highly selective intake process. We only accept cases with clear merit where we believe we are well-positioned to recover funds for our clients. As a result, we turn down the vast majority of potential cases, often due to concerns about the likelihood of recovery.
Who pays the costs of pursuing the claim?
We typically advance the costs of pursuing your claim and are reimbursed only if we are successful. This means that if no recovery is obtained, you will not be responsible for reimbursing us for those costs.
Who will work on my case at your firm?
Each case is typically handled by at least two attorneys at the firm, including Chase Carlson, the firm’s President, along with at least one additional attorney. In addition, a team of paralegals and legal assistants supports each matter. In total, at least five professionals are regularly involved in handling your case.
What states are you able to handle cases in?
We handle FINRA arbitration claims in all 50 states. This is permitted under rules that allow out-of-state attorneys to appear in arbitration proceedings or, where necessary, through pro hac vice admission, which allows an out-of-state attorney to appear in a specific case, typically in association with local counsel.
