Our Trusted Portland, OR Securities Law Firm Represents Investors In Arbitration & Litigation

If you are an Oregon investor and are wondering whether your portfolio losses were caused by the negligence or misconduct of your financial advisor, Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com) can help you determine whether you have grounds for a legal claim. For over 30 years, we have worked with investors throughout The Beaver State in pursuing financial recovery related to stockbroker fraud. This has included suing financial firms all over the United States on behalf of our clients.

This is not the kind of lawsuit that you want to pursue without knowledgeable Portland, OR broker misconduct lawyers by your side.

Why File a Stockbroker Misconduct Lawsuit Against Your Financial Advisor?

If your investment losses are even in part due to the wrongful or careless actions of your stockbroker, you may be able to file a FINRA lawsuit against them. This is likely the only way you can maximize your chances for a full financial recovery from your broker-dealer.

Most financial firms are unlikely to admit to broker fraud. Some of them may even engage in delay tactics in an attempt to undermine your case. When you hire skilled Portland stockbroker-dealer negligence lawyers to represent you, this signals to the opposing side that you aren’t going to go away and that they have to take your claims seriously.

Because you likely signed a predispute arbitration clause when you first agreed to work with your financial firm, your claim will be submitted to FINRA arbitration. Different from going to court, there are specific strategies and approaches required to win in this type of legal forum, which is yet another reason you want a seasoned Oregon broker-dealer misconduct law firm working with you.

Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas has skillfully represented thousands of investors in mediation, litigation, and arbitration over the past few decades. Our efforts have resulted in many millions of dollars recovered for our clients.

What Is Broker Fraud?

From outright theft to carelessness to inexperience, stockbroker fraud can encompass different kinds of actions, such as:

Unsuitability

Overconcentration

Churning (Excessive trading)

Negligence

Misrepresentations

Omissions

Failure to Supervise

Due diligence failures

Breach of fiduciary duty

Much more.

One of the challenges with suing a brokerage firm is that identifying let alone proving that financial advisor misconduct was a factor can be very difficult—especially when other issues, such as financial product failure, an investment scam, or an adverse market event may have been involved. Not only our dedicated broker fraud attorneys identify what caused your investment losses, but also, we can build a solid FINRA arbitration claim on your behalf. Should we agree to work together, you can rely on receiving quality securities law representation and personal attention. Not only that, but more than 90% of the investors we have worked with have received full or financial recovery.
