If the Brokerage Firms Have Lawyers, the SEC has Lawyers, Shouldn’t You Have a Lawyer, Too

Posted in:

Many people re hesitant to hire a good lawyer when they have lost their retirements, investments or been placed in risky variable annuities.  Yet, the brokerage firms and brokers don't blink an eye about hiring lawyers.  They have lawyers, paid expensively by the hour, who are always there to help them.  Their lawyers do a lot of this type of work and are ready to go.  The SEC is less and less interested in protecting investors and more interested in reducing regulation.  FNRA or FINRA is actually not a government body but is run by....you guessed it, the stock firms and stock brokers.  Shouldn't you have a lawyer, too?  You should get best quality of information about your situation as you can.  You owe it to yourself to find out if there is an actionable case--one which the law and facts support, and which is proper to bring.  Even more, much of work is on a contingency, so you don't have to pay anything out of pocket to find out.  If everyone has lawyers, why should you think you don't need one?
