Disputes with Financial Institutions in Florida

When a person is wronged by a large financial institution or its employees, a resolution may seem impossible. Navigating the financial dispute resolution process can sometimes appear to even the most experienced investor or financial professional as a daunting “David-versus-Goliath” battle. Even when the financial institution is in the wrong, it may attempt to prevent or limit recovery. For investors, recouping savings and seeking compensation from financial institutions seems like a fool’s errand.

Fortunately, those who have been wronged by financial institutions usually have options to recover their damages. However, recovering damages frequently requires filing a claim through a claims process that most people do not realize they have consented to or even heard about. Financial institutions’ wrongdoing often falls under the jurisdiction of FINRA—the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. FINRA requires arbitration, a form of alternative dispute resolution, for nearly all disputes with financial institutions.

At Vernon Litigation Group, we represent clients in FINRA arbitration and related proceedings, including all types of financial institution disputes. We have been serving clients throughout Southwest Florida since 2008 and, in the past decade, have emerged as one of the region’s leaders in this area of law. We invite you to reach out to our Naples financial institution dispute attorneys today to learn how we can assist you with your claim.
