Stockbroker/Financial Advisor Representation

Stockbroker/Financial Advisor Representation
We represent financial advisors in claims brought by or against their broker-dealers or RIA firms. We also represent advisors who have lost clients because of investments they recommended, based on faulty information from their broker-dealer. In these situations, FINRA panels have awarded financial advisors the value of the lost business. We have successfully represented financial advisors in promissory note cases, discrimination and harassment, raiding-related claims, compensation issues, and U-5 reporting issues.
From our history of representing clients, we have found that it is best that it is best to limit our investor cases to the representation of investors only, and for that reason, we do not represent defendants in those cases.

Shareholder Rights
Our shareholder rights cases arise when a person or group controlling a company does something that is not in the best interest of the other owners. Usually, the act in question benefits the controllers at the expense of other investor-owners of the company.
Our clients are those who have been disadvantaged by the controlling group’s actions. Usually, we are suing on behalf of the company itself, seeking to set aside the controller’s acts and recover any ill-gotten gains they may have realized.

Ponzi Clawback Litigation

Ponzi Clawback Litigation
Especially since the ugly collapse of Bernard Madoff’s extensive Ponzi scheme in 2008, receivers and trustees of bankrupt Ponzi operations are attempting to recover billions of dollars from innocent investors who were fortunate enough to have gotten their money back before the fraudulent operation collapsed.
These are called clawback claims. We represent innocent investors nationwide – those who were unaware that they had invested in a Ponzi Scheme — when they are named as defendants in clawback claims.

Securities Litigation

Securities Litigation
When we decide that the best option to recover investment losses is bringing claims against general partners, investment advisors, investment salesmen, hedge fund managers and the like, we file cases in state and federal courts throughout the country.
We have particular expertise and experience in claims against participants – the actors that the law holds responsible even though they did not sell or manage the investments. Examples include cases against law firms or accounting firms that prepared legal documents for an investment, and partners or control persons of a selling person or group.

FINRA Securities Arbitration

1927
FINRA Securities Arbitration
When investment losses occur in a stock brokerage account, claims for investment losses usually have to be filed in a FINRA arbitration proceeding rather than court. That is because virtually every firm’s forms that you must sign when you open an investment account have a provision stating that you agree to go to arbitration rather than court if there is ever a dispute.
If headed to arbitration, it is critical that you have counsel who is specifically experienced in arbitration. That experience is available to you at 800.647.8130 with a free and confidential initial consultation with a member of our skilled Investor Defenders team.

Investment Loss Recovery
– Est. –

Investment Loss Recovery
If a conservative to moderate investor loses, say, 20% of his portfolio designed by a financial advisor, the chances are very good that the advisor is at fault. Likewise, if a particular investment was described to you as a “good investment,” or “safe and secure” and later becomes worthless or illiquid, chances are good that someone misrepresented that investment to you.
We evaluate how much money was lost, why it was lost, and whether the law supports a claim for recovery. If the losses are significant, and were caused by an advisor’s mistake or an investment principal’s misrepresentations, we seek to set the sale aside – our clients offer to give back the investment in exchange for a return of their purchase price, plus interest and attorney fees when the law allows it.

Appeals

Knowing that, our experienced appellate attorneys work closely with clients at all stages to put them in the best possible position if the case does continue – whether that means responding to an appeal by opposing parties or developing a record on which to appeal ourselves.
