Contact Bakhtiari & Harrison — Free Consultation

Schedule a Free Consultation

Bakhtiari & Harrison offers a free initial consultation for all potential investor and financial professional matters. There is no charge to discuss your situation, and no obligation to retain the firm after the consultation. All communications are confidential.

The firm represents two distinct client groups — investors who have suffered losses and are seeking recovery, and financial professionals who need representation in employment, regulatory, or compensation matters. Both audiences are served with the same level of commitment and expertise.

What To Expect From Your Consultation

• For investors: Bakhtiari & Harrison will review your account statements, trade confirmations, and the circumstances of your losses at no charge. The firm will advise you whether you have a viable FINRA arbitration or securities litigation claim and what your recovery options are. Investor cases are handled on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless the firm recovers money for you.

• For financial professionals: The firm will review the facts of your situation — whether you are facing a promissory note demand, a false U5 filing, a regulatory investigation, a compensation dispute, or an employment matter — and advise you on your legal options and likely outcomes. Industry professional matters are handled on a flat fee or hourly basis depending on the nature of the representation.

Why Choose Bakhtiari & Harrison

• $250 million+ recovered. Four decades of FINRA arbitration and securities litigation results for investors throughout California and nationwide.

• FINRA leadership. Ryan Bakhtiari served as Chairman of the FINRA National Arbitration and Mediation Committee and as President of PIABA, and is a Super Lawyer 2005–2026. Partner David Harrison is a former New York City assistant district attorney and ex-Morgan Stanley in-house counsel who began his career as a Series 7-licensed registered representative at Shearson Lehman Brothers.

• Nationwide representation. The firm is admitted in California, New York, Texas, the District of Columbia, and multiple federal courts. FINRA arbitration hearings are held near the claimant's location, so the firm represents clients in all 50 states without requiring travel to California.

• Strict confidentiality. All consultations and case matters are handled with complete confidentiality. FINRA arbitration is a private proceeding — not public record.
