- Q. Can I file a fiduciary negligence claim against Landa Holdings, Inc. for account access issues and no distributions in Texas?
- A: First check your investment contract. If it contains an arbitration clause, you will probably have to file your claim in arbitration. If it does not, you should be able to file in court. You may want to make a formal demand for books and records before filing suit. Good luck.
- Q. Problem with investment group. Need to get money owed but SEC involved. Now what?
- A: You should look at the contract you have with your investment group. Most firms include an arbitration provision in their contracts. If your firm is regulated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), you likely will have to pursue any claims in a FINRA arbitration. I hope this helps you. Good luck.
