Securities Fraud & Personal Injury Lawyer

At D’Costa Law P.C., our focus is protecting you and your family. Our securities fraud lawyer obtains recoveries resulting from stock broker misconduct and fraud, and our other main practice areas include personal injury, workers’ compensation, and insurance provider denials of no-fault benefits for both injured parties and health care providers. We also represent and defend registered representatives and financial advisors before FINRA, CFTC, SEC, and AAA, in disciplinary proceedings.

Our firm has extensive litigation experience in New York State and Federal Courts in addition to arbitration experience before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the National Futures Association (NFA), and the American Arbitration Association (AAA).

Our firm takes the time to understand all of our clients’ needs which has allowed us to recover millions of dollars and also save our clients’ resources.

Stock Broker Misconduct

D’Costa Law P.C., represents investors who have been victimized by their investment advisor or stock broker. Our firm represents investors throughout the Nation in all fifty states and has also represented international investors who have been victimized by stock broker misconduct.

Often times investors are unaware of the abuse(s) committed by their trusted stock broker. These kinds of stock brokers will use every tool in their arsenal to manipulate, deceive, control, and extort money from their clients. However, the “numbers” never lie. Our securities fraud lawyer provides a FREE analysis of your brokerage account statements in order to reveal the truth of where your hard earned money is going. A review of your brokerage account statements will often times reveal high or hidden commission charges, purchases in high-risk investments outside of your investment objectives, investments in firm-sponsored or firm-owned investment products, and an overall failure to disclose these trades to the investor. These types of trades can dissolve an investor’s account within months and be disguised as “market-related” losses.

There’s no reason to feel embarrassed if you were a victim of stock broker misconduct and it’s important to note that it’s not your fault. Often times it’s the same stock broker or brokerage firm taking advantage of all of their clients in the same exact way. If you feel that you’ve been victimized by your stock broker, please contact us immediately for a *FREE evaluation.

D’Costa Law, P.C. believes in full and honest disclosure to our clients. Therefore, if your case is approved for FINRA Dispute Resolution, the only additional fees required will be: (1) the fees associated with the filling of your claim and (2) the forensic analysis report of the accounts in question; which are completed by an independent third-party certified forensics expert. Thereafter, our securities fraud attorney will charge NO additional legal fees unless you win!

Financial Advisors and Registered Securities Representatives

We represent and defend registered representatives and financial advisors before FINRA, CFTC, SEC, and AAA, in disciplinary proceedings. This includes U5 defamation actions, forgivable promissory note collection causes, expungement of U4 and U5, AWC letters, OTR interviews and enforcement actions.

If you’ve received a disciplinary letter from FINRA or have any questions regarding claims brought against you, contact Daniel D’Costa for a free consultation.

Personal Injury and Workers’ Compensation

Helping injured New Yorkers was the first practice area of D’Costa Law P.C. Daniel D’Costa, the founding partner of the firm, spent several years as a paralegal for a personal injury defense firm and also served as a fellowship attorney for the New York City Transit Authority Torts Division. However, after witnessing countless injustices attributed to a lack of proper legal counsel, Daniel decided to do something about it.

It’s no surprise that accidents happen every day and often times we typically chalk it up to “bad luck” and look no further. However, if a trained legal mind looks closer into the details of the accident you are likely to discover facts as to how that accident could have been prevented if not for the negligence of another person.

No judgment issued by a Judge or Jury will ever fix permanent physical or emotional damage. However, we want you to know that you may be entitled to some form of relief for the losses you have sustained. There is no badge of honor given for allowing the neglect of another person to go unpunished. We guarantee that D’Costa Law P.C. will work tirelessly to ensure your case gets the attention it deserves. Unlike many of the large personal injury firms where your case gets buried under thousands of other cases, D’Costa Law P.C., takes a personal approach to achieve an effective and efficient resolution to your personal injury claim.

No-Fault Collections

Injured Person: If you’ve been injured in an auto accident in New York, you have the right to file an insurance claim for any accident-related medical expenses, lost wages for up to three years after the accident, and other miscellaneous costs regardless of who was to blame for the accident. No-fault is not limited to only the driver of the car, but also covers any passengers, pedestrians, bicyclists and others who were injured in a motor vehicle accident.

Although the process is relatively straight-forward, the rules contain many pitfalls that will deny or limit your claim. One common mistake is that the injured party has waited too long. Your no-fault application must be filed with the insurance company of the car you were in within 30 days of the accident. The same 30-day rule applies to a pedestrian, however, you have to file the claim with your own insurance company.

No-Fault is typically capped at $50,000 for economic losses such as medical bills and lost wages. However, if you’ve suffered a “Serious Injury” as a result of the car accident, you may be eligible to file a personal injury claim for additional compensation.

Doctors and Medical Providers: D’Costa Law P.C. represents doctors and other medical care providers in the collection of unpaid medical bills for no-fault insurance claims. The last thing a medical provider wants to see is a pile of denied no-fault claims sitting on their desk after spending countless hours in treating an injured patient. We want you to know that help is here. D’Costa Law P.C. has helped several key clients in all five-boroughs and long island obtain immediate relief in an efficient and effective way.

Our approach digs deeper than what most firms are willing to provide. We help create a process that allows a seamless pathway from your medical office front desk to the claims department at our firm. The collections process begins once you receive a denial. Our trained attorneys and staff will file your claim immediately and push for an expedited resolution. Furthermore, for a very reasonable fee, we will even help train your staff at your medical office in completing suitable submissions of medical bills to the insurance providers so that we limit the amount of claims that can be denied.

Our claims analysts and settlement experts have over 30 years of experience in collecting no-fault claims. Throughout that time, we have fostered strong professional relationships with all of the top insurance providers that have benefited our clients immensely. As a last resort, our staff and network of attorneys will fight your claim before the American Arbitration Association (AAA). We understand the process. Allow our experience to benefit your practice.

The ultimate goal is to make your life easier and allow you to have more time to spend with your patients. Call us for a free evaluation at 516-526-3082. There is no fee unless we’re able to collect on your no-fault claim. If you don’t get paid, we don’t get paid!
