Dont Settle For Less

Our Unique and Notable Record

The Meissner firm is unlike many other firms who claim to represent investors. One of the most sought after arbitration attorneys, Mr. Meissner directly supervises any case the firm is retained on. Mr. Meissner’s record of never having lost any in person arbitration* has been maintained ever since he opened his own law firm in 2001 after having been a New York prosecutor for the New York Attorney General and Manhattan DAs Office for over 11 years and then being employed as a Senior Associate at securities arbitration/litigation defense firm defending brokerage houses.

Being a former prosecutor brings many unique aspects to the firm’s practice: carefully screening cases ; selective acceptance of securities arbitration matters;

and refusing to adopt the “mill” approach to the practice by accepting only a limited number of arbitration matters. This enables the arbitration lawyers in the firm to focus on winning each and every case we accept.

From the beginning all client matters are not just reviewed based on the firms vast experience, but also all matters are reviewed by independent outside experts with either supervisory experience in major brokerage houses and/or by Certified Financial Planners (CFPs) that have in depth experience in financial planning or by experts in damage analysis. This enables the firm’s arbitration lawyers to build a strong case for clients.

The Meissner firm pays careful attention to screening arbitrators for each case and where appropriate will make inquiries and challenges so that each case is heard by a fair and neutral panel without conflicts. The Meissner firm also utilizes its experience with regulators and even with the press to ensure that all relevant evidence is obtained and heard and not just what the brokerage firm chooses to provide. The firms experienced arbitration attorneys and careful attention to each part of the process serves to maximize potential settlement offers and/or hearing results in each case it accepts.

As a result the firm has soundly beaten all investor win statistics related to such awards as publicized by the FINRA and have returned to many investors literally millions of dollars of investor funds.

Most of the securities arbitration cases pursued by the firm are suitability cases, in which a stockbroker recommends securities that are unsuitable for an investors particular situation. A typical suitability case may involve retired clients who live on a fixed income, and who should not invest in speculative securities or limit their portfolios to one or two stocks.

Another example of an unsuitable broker recommendation is the purchase of an annuity by an elderly person. A broker can earn a substantial commission by selling an annuity product, but such investments are generally inappropriate for elderly persons.
