Recourse for improper personal financial management?

[art]

I am in an unfortunate situation with my (former) financial managers. I believe they did not follow my instructions and am unsure as to the recourse I have.

Does anyone have advice where to go after reaching a dead end trying to work things out with them directly?

- Is there a regulatory agency I can appeal to or report them to?
- What sort of lawyer would I need to determine possible legal actions?

Any help greatly appreciated.

FINRA - they were once the NASD - they handle Mediation and Arbitration of disputes between Brokers/Money Managers.

I suspect they probably have a BIG Back log of business at the Moment.
