Investigating Disputes with Your Broker

Lifting the fog on your losses when you’ve been led down the wrong path.

Fraud Misconduct Investigations

Most securities fraud investigations begin by some alleged misdeed by a stockbroker, brokerage firm or financial advisor.

Sometimes, investigations are triggered by unauthorized, unsuitable or excessive trading. Other times it may be the result of misleading or inaccurate information that generate high commissions for the brokers and significant losses for the investor.

If you feel you have sustained financial losses related to investment fraud, you may have a strong case for recovery.

It is critical that you seek an attorney well-versed in the nuances of complex business disputes and experienced in applying the appropriate securities law.

  • Chronic unreturned phone calls.

  • Stock values that drop quickly.
  • Market trends and earnings that are not comparable.
  • Broker recommended investments that decline in value more times than not.
  • Lack of disclosure of pertinent information to your decisions to invest by your broker.
