Broker Fraud Lawyers Recoup Investment Losses

Can I Get my Investment Losses Back?

Our Broker Fraud Lawyers May Be Able To Help 

Not all investment losses warrant grounds for financial recovery. Some investor losses can happen and no wrongdoing was involved.

However, if your stockbroker made an unsuitable investment recommendation, withheld key information about a financial product, mismanaged your account, marketed a high-risk investment to you even though you are a conservative investor, overconcentrated your funds in one particular investment, or because of due diligence failures negligently involved you in a Ponzi scam, you may be able to file a FINRA lawsuit against them and the broker-dealer damages.

The Broker Fraud Lawyers at Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com), are here to help you explore your legal options. We work with new investors, seasoned investors, retirees, senior investors, accredited investors, wealthy investors, sophisticated investors, and high-net-worth investors in suing their financial advisors for damages.

Suspecting broker fraud or negligence is not enough. You need to work with knowledgeable investor fraud attorneys who have the skills and experience to properly review your account and determine exactly what happened.

What Are Immediate Steps I Can Take To Assist in My Investment Loss Recovery?

• Make sure to have a record of the activities in your brokerage account and any communications you had with your financial advisor.
• Do NOT try to resolve this directly with your broker-dealer. Financial firms are not known for readily admitting to wrongdoing. Some will even try to undermine your claim.
• Contact our savvy investment fraud law firm to schedule your free, no-obligation case consultation.

Should we agree to work together, you will have our entire team of seasoned broker fraud attorneys, legal assistants, and consultants representing you and protecting your legal rights. Your claim will likely be filed in Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration. If a settlement or agreement isn’t reached, then a panel of FINRA arbitrators will rule on your claim.

While we cannot guarantee the outcome of your lawsuit, know that working with trusted broker negligence attorneys does maximize your chances for a full recovery.

What Happens If I Win My Investment Loss Recovery Case in Arbitration?

The broker-dealer has 30 days after the panel announces the award distribution to pay the claimant. If the brokerage firm does not pay the award ordered, FINRA may choose to suspend them until payment is rendered—that is, unless a motion to vacate has been made. However, FINRA arbitration awards are generally final, which can make them hard to overturn or contest. Unfortunately, there are instances when a firm cannot or for whatever reason still refuses to pay an award. This is one more reason why you need savvy investor lawyers fighting for you.
