Morgan Stanley Deferred Comp Claims

We are investigating claims for Morgan Stanley advisors who were denied their deferred compensaton payments when they left the firm. There is a proposed class action pending, but individual advisors may be better served by bringing their individual claims as FINRA arbitrations. We are reviewing claims for a number of former Morgan Stanley advisors, and are interested in speaking to others who have been denied compensation.
