The Law Offices of David A. Carter, P.A. has its office in Boca Raton, Florida because of the obvious benefits of being located so close to FINRA Dispute Resolutions’ Southeast headquarters (FINRA’s Southeast office is located at Boca Center Tower 1, 5200 Town Center Circle, Boca Raton, FL 33486- less than one mile from our office).

Having our office located so close to FINRA’s Southeast headquarters has its advantages, particularly since all cases filed in the southeast portion of the United States are administered out of FINRA’s Boca Raton, Florida Dispute Resolution office. In fact, any securities fraud cases filed with FINRA on behalf of a customer living in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, Louisiana, Virginia, Puerto Rico, Delaware, and Washington, D.C. will likely be assigned to FINRA’s Southeast Region office and administered out of the Boca Raton, Florida office.

It should be noted, that in addition to Boca Raton, Florida, FINRA Dispute Resolution’s Southeast Region has hearing locations for investor claims/securities fraud cases in Atlanta, Georgia; Baltimore, Maryland; Birmingham, Alabama; Charlotte, North Carolina; Columbia, South Carolina; Ft. Lauderdale, Florida; Jackson, Mississippi; Jacksonville, Florida; Little Rock, Arkansas; Memphis, Tennessee; Miami, Florida; Nashville, Tennessee; New Orleans, Louisiana; Norfolk, Virginia; Orlando, Florida; Raleigh, North Carolina; Richmond, Virginia; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Tampa, Florida; Washington, DC; and Wilmington, Delaware. Accordingly, just because a case filed in the Southeast portion of the country is administered by FINRA’s Boca Raton, Florida office, does not mean that a customer’s case will be heard in Boca Raton.
