What are the costs associated with arbitration?

A: In pursuing his or her claims, the investor is responsible for certain expenses. Those expenses include filing fees, discovery costs, the cost of preparing exhibits, and, if the matter is not settled prior to arbitration, the costs of hiring expert witnesses and FINRA hearing fees. A securities fraud law firm with adequate resources, like Meyer Wilson, will advance certain expenses on behalf of certain of its clients. Legal fees are typically billed on a contingent basis, that is, a percentage of any damages collected by the investor as a result of an arbitration award. The law firm of Meyer Wilson handles of its cases on a contingent fee basis, meaning no fee is paid unless money is recovered by the investor.
