Our Straightforward Approach

At the Law Office of S. David Anton, P.A. we begin with a FREE initial assessment of your securities case to get a complete picture of your situation, including the following steps:

• STEP 1: Understanding the facts relevant to your case;
• STEP 2: Analyzing probable outcomes and developing realistic expectations for your case;
• STEP 3: Explaining the arbitration process; and
• STEP 4: Providing a breakdown of the estimated costs and timelines.

The Law Office of S. David Anton, P.A. focuses on quality over quantity. To ensure that our clients receive the time and attention they deserve, we intentionally keep our case load at a sensible level.

What you should bring to your first consultation

The more specific the information you can provide during your FREE Initial Consultation, the more specific the advice your attorney can provide about the available options, strategies, and expectations for your case. Having specific information allows you and your attorney to craft an efficient and effective strategy for your case.

Providing each and every item listed below at your FREE Initial Consultation is often impractical or even impossible for most people. A comprehensive consultation can still be conducted with only a partial set of these documents.

A typical securities arbitration case involving the unsuitable investment of a client's money can best be analyzed if the client brings with them to their initial attorney consultation as many of the following documents as possible:

• All account statements for the account(s) in question;
• All documents provided by the investment/brokerage firm that YOU signed;
• All personalized (non-form letter) correspondence sent by the brokerage firm;
• All letters that you have sent to your brokerage firm; and
• Your federal income tax returns for all years in which the alleged abuse took place.

This Initial Consultation will be most effective if you can also provide us with an estimate of the amount of your losses and a general understanding of what might have gone wrong.

What your case may cost

We provide a FREE Initial Consultation to all potential securities arbitration clients. Once you have made the decision to go forward with your case, we will openly discuss with you the anticipated fees and costs associated with the services you need.

Although fees and costs vary case by case, securities arbitration cases may be accepted on either an hourly charge basis or a contingency fee basis.

• In a contingency fee case, you pay no attorney fees unless and until you receive a money award. Contingency fees typically range from 33% to 40% of the gross amount of monies recovered.
• In an hourly fee case you pay an hourly rate for the attorney and staff member working on your case.

Securities arbitration costs and expenses can sometimes include Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) filing fees, arbitrator compensation, expert witness costs and mediator costs. You can expect to pay these costs at the time they become due during your case. The total amount of costs varies on a case by case basis and will partly depend on the complexity of the matter and the length of the required process. A more precise costs analysis will be provided at the FREE Initial Consultation.

The Law Office of S. David Anton, P.A. now accepts all credit cards
for the payment of costs and fees.
