Media Coverage Law Firm

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., May 13,  — When the law firm of Securities Fraud Attorney Mark A. Tepper told us that the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) had upheld its client’s claim for damages against AmTrust Investment Services, we knew we had a story deserving of media attention. We crafted a press release that recapped the terms of the Award for damages on behalf of the law firm’s client – a retired auto mechanic.

The result: News Coverage in Newspapers, online and on TV.

“Protecting investors including retirees from predatory investment practices is a top priority for our practice and we’re very pleased with the finding by FINRA’s arbitration panel in favor of the statement of claim we presented,” Tepper, a former New York Assistant Attorney General and Chief Trial Counsel at the Bureau of Investor Protection and Securities, said.

The FINRA panel awarded damages based upon “Breach of Fiduciary Duty” and a “Failure of Adequate Supervision” in its Dispute Resolution Award to the retiree.

“Far too often the elderly are being placed in risky investments and suffering losses needlessly. We hope that the full recovery obtained in this case will send a positive message to victims of securities fraud – make sure you understand your rights and always evaluate whether you have legal recourse,” Tepper added.
