The arbitrary claims also include allegations that UBS misused our clients’ investments as collateral for line of credit loans. Our clients have suffered substantial losses and sought to be compensated by UBS-Puerto Rico, their claims were based on:

  • Breach of contract
  • Breach of obligations
  • Failure to supervise financial advisers
  • Fraud
  • Negligence
  • Excessive concentration
  • Impropriety

The arbitration filing also includes other allegations of inadequacy.

After a year and a half of constant effort, attorneys Zamansky and Glenn successfully obtained the compensation that these plaintiff investors deserved. The arbitration panel of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) presided over the case and with a vote of 2 to 1 decreed that Zamansky’s clients would be benefited with approximately $ 2.4 million in direct damages, plus interest, costs and fees, making a total of approximately $ 3.1 million in compensation.

In a statement published in “Wall Street Journal” and “Law360” lawyer Jacob Zamansky stated “my clients are satisfied with the FINRA arbitration award and believe that justice was served”
