Investor’s Guide to
Loss Recovery
Rights, Mediation, Arbitration,and Other Strategies
“Not only does Louis Straney give consumers a way to measure and understand their losses, assess their choices for what to do when faced with loss, and maximize their hopes for recovery, his book also gives attorneys who represent consumers insight into how to maneuver the byzantine system of federal and state laws that govern this area where there has been so little protection and so much abuse. . . Nowhere else can someone find a resource like this for people who have suffered loss in this arcane arena.” From the Foreword by John T. Feldman, Assistant Dean, Career Services, and Adjunct Professor of Mediation, University of New Mexico School of Law
New financial regulations are impacting the options available to investors looking to recover assets. To date, the only reliable resources on securities arbitration have been either sensationalized accounts of how to sue Wall Street, or legal references, which provide no practical application.
Filled with expert guidance showing investors how arbitration really works and how it can work in their favor, Investor’s Guide to Loss Recovery presents a more approachable and effective process to exercising rights as a victim, with coverage of:
-
Litigation resources and strategies you need to get familiar with
-
How to effectively file a claim and the results you can expect
-
Detailed scripts of initial attorney interviews in mediation and arbitration
-
How to organize the massive amount of documents exchanged between parties
-
Personal interviews with securities attorneys, experts, and investors
-
How newly enacted regulatory reforms will impact the process and options for financial fraud victims
You can fight back, persist, and demand both justice and monetary recovery. Investor’s Guide to Loss Recovery equips you as well as investors, financial advisors, and attorneys with the expert knowledge, insight, and preparation needed to recover from investment misconduct.
