How a Los Angeles firm handles cases nationwide and worldwide
This is the question most potential clients outside California ask, and it deserves a direct answer.
FINRA arbitration is a federal process governed by uniform national rules — the FINRA Code of Arbitration Procedure — regardless of where the claimant lives. FINRA holds hearings at the venue closest to the claimant’s residence. This means that a client in Houston gets a hearing in Houston, a client in New York gets a hearing in New York, and a client in Chicago gets a hearing in Chicago. Bakhtiari & Harrison’s attorneys travel to hearings nationwide as a routine part of the firm’s practice.
The majority of case preparation — legal strategy, document review, discovery management, arbitrator selection, and brief writing — is conducted remotely and does not require in-person meetings. Clients can communicate with the firm by video, phone, or secure encrypted document transfer. The firm has represented clients in all 50 states and has also represented international clients with U.S. and internationally based FINRA arbitrable claims.
