Representing Bay Area Investors Broker-Dealers and Investment Advisers
Since 1990, our trusted San Francisco Securities Lawyers have been working with retail investors, retirees of all ages, older investors, high-net-worth individual investors, ultra-high-net-worth investors, institutional investors, and others throughout the Bay Area and the surrounding areas in recovering the damages they are owed due to financial advisor misconduct or negligence. We also represent international investors who live abroad but have California brokerage accounts.
Unfortunately, securities fraud involving brokers and investment advisers does happen. While the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the California Department of Corporations (DOC), and even prosecutors can investigate your allegations against a brokerage firm or investment adviser, if you want to maximize your chances for a full financial recovery, your best bet is to retain the services of a respected San Francisco securities law firm that knows how to fight for you.
Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com) represent investors against US-based broker-dealers, including the largest firms on Wall Street and in the San Francisco Financial District. As one of the largest securities fraud firms in the country, we have the resources, experience, and manpower to handle even the most complex investment loss claims. More than 90% of investors that we have worked with have received full or partial financial recovery.

When Should You Contact our San Francisco Investment Fraud Attorneys?
Suing your broker-dealer in FINRA arbitration or a registered investment adviser in court is not something you should do without skilled Bay Area securities lawyers by your side. It is also not advisable that you try to resolve your investor loss dispute directly with your financial advisor. We cannot tell you how many times investors have come to us after spending too much time getting brushed aside by a brokerage firm when they already could have been arguing their securities claim before a panel of arbitrators.
Because not all investor losses are due to fraud or negligence, you will want to speak with one of our resourceful San Francisco securities lawsuit attorneys who can help you determine whether you have grounds for an investment recovery claim during your free, no-obligation initial case assessment. Should we decide to work together, we will conduct a deep dive investigation into the circumstances that caused your investor losses, prepare a solid securities fraud case for you, and fight for the damages you are owed.
Because we work on a contingency basis, know that you will only pay for our legal services if and upon financial recovery, which is where our fees would come from, and never directly out of your own pocket.
