FAQ

Common Questions About This Firm

How do I know if I have a securities fraud claim?
Common indicators include: excessive trading or "churning" in your account, investments placed without your approval (unauthorized trading), misleading recommendations that ignored your risk tolerance, failure to disclose conflicts of interest, or outright Ponzi scheme involvement. Newman Ferrara offers free evaluations to help you determine if you have a viable claim.
Where are securities fraud cases filed?
Most investor claims against brokers go to FINRA arbitration — not federal court — which is faster and less expensive than traditional litigation. Newman Ferrara's securities attorneys are experienced in FINRA arbitration proceedings and securities class actions in federal court.
Does Newman Ferrara handle landlord-tenant matters?
Yes. The firm handles complex real estate and landlord-tenant litigation, including housing discrimination claims, illegal deregulation of rent-stabilized apartments, and construction defect disputes. They represent both individual tenants and institutional clients depending on the matter.
What civil rights issues does the firm handle?
Newman Ferrara handles housing discrimination, employment discrimination, violations of constitutional rights, and other civil rights matters under federal and New York law. They have represented clients before federal courts and state courts across New York.
