Understanding Securities Fraud in Rockford, Illinois

In Illinois, securities include stocks, bonds, mutual funds, private placements, and investment contracts. Brokers and financial advisors must register with the Illinois Securities Department and follow federal rules from the SEC and FINRA.

If your financial advisor was not properly licensed, failed to disclose key information, or steered you into unsuitable investments, you may have a valid FINRA arbitration claim.

What is FINRA Arbitration?

Most disputes between investors and their financial advisors or brokerage firms are required to be resolved through binding arbitration with FINRA, rather than traditional court proceedings. FINRA Dispute Resolution is the primary forum for resolving such cases nationwide.

The White Law Group has extensive experience navigating this arbitration process and can help guide you from initial case evaluation through to settlement or hearing.
