Can I Recover my Investment Losses?
In order to recover your investment losses, you must prove that your broker-dealer or financial advisor violated securities statutes, rules, regulations, breached their fiduciary duty to you as an investor or acted negligently. You are not going to successfully do this without a skilled and experienced securities law attorney.
In most cases, this means filing a FINRA arbitration claim against the broker-dealer and/or representative.
The majority of securities fraud cases are handled by FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) rather than being brought to the court system.
FINRA arbitration is a streamlined, cost-effective way to resolve disputes between investors and their brokers without going to court – it also allows you to collect punitive damages, which are not available in civil court.
What Can an Investment and Securities Fraud Lawyer Do for Investors?
An investment fraud plaintiff’s lawyer helps investors recover investment losses that they lost due to a financial advisor or broker who did not act in their best interest. Typically, the lawyer will help the investor recover their losses through a process called FINRA arbitration.

Laws that Protect Oregon Investors from Stockbroker Fraud
Key laws include the Oregon Securities Law, which combats fraud, mandates the registration of most securities, and provides avenues for misled investors to seek recourse. The Oregon Private Corporations Law outlines shareholder rights and corporate responsibilities to ensure corporations act in shareholders’ best interests. Additionally, the Oregon Unlawful Trade Practices Act (UTPA) empowers investors to take action against unfair or deceptive investment practices.
Governing agencies like the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services serve as primary watchdogs for the state’s securities industry by registering offerings, licensing brokers, investigating misconduct, and educating investors about their rights.
The Office of the Oregon Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division can intervene in cases of investment fraud or deceptive practices that harm investors.
On a national level, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) oversees all U.S. broker-dealers, setting ethical standards, enforcing securities laws, and providing investor education resources in collaboration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for broad investor protection.
What Are the Statute of Limitations for Securities Fraud in Oregon?
In Oregon, the statute of limitations for fraud cases is generally 2 years from when the facts of the fraud are discovered, but not more than 3 years from the date the securities were sold.
Federally, the statute of limitations for securities fraud is usually five years from the violation date or two years from when the fraud should have been discovered.
