What Do You Need To Prove You Were The Victim of Broker Fraud? Hiring Skilled Stockbroker Misconduct Lawyers Is One Way To Increase Your Chances For Financial Recovery 

Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas Stockbroker Misconduct Lawyers (investorlawyers.com) represent investors against broker-dealers and investment advisors who owe them damages because of financial advisor fraud or negligence.

If you suspect that you were the victim of broker fraud, this is not the type of legal claim you want to pursue without a knowledgeable investment loss recovery firm representing you. What you can do first is to contact us today to request your free, initial no obligation case consultation.

Proving You Are Owed Damages Caused By Broker Fraud 

You need to be able to demonstrate that your losses were due, even if just in part, to stockbroker fraud. Evidence that you will need may include account records, financial statements, emails and other communications with your financial advisor, the investing documents you were given, and other key materials.

Also, depending on the kind of losses you sustained, you may have to show enet out-of-pocket losses, trading losses, or portfolio losses resulting from your broker’s alleged misconduct or negligence.

All of this can be tough to prove without seasoned stockbroker fraud lawyers representing you. They should be able to fully analyze your material evidence, assess the cause of your losses, and, when warranted, take the necessary steps to hold the broker-dealer liable.

They also need to know which expert witnesses to bring in to help build a solid case that can demonstrate that unsuitability, concentration, misrepresentations and omissions, best interest violations, gross negligence, negligence, unauthorized trading, selling away, churning, or any other type of financial advisor misconduct was involved.

Because you likely signed a predispute arbitration clause, chances are you consented to settle any disputes with your broker-dealer in FINRA arbitration, which is a different legal venue from court. Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas has decades of experience fighting for investors in arbitration, mediation, and litigation. We have represented clients in more than 1000 matters and helped thousands of them to collectively recoup many millions of dollars.

Most brokerage firms would rather deny wrongdoing or even blame you because they don’t want to pay you damages. They usually have their own legal team on retainer looking out for their best interests. They may even try to sabotage your efforts at financial recovery, which is another reason you should hire skilled broker misconduct lawyers that know how to protect your legal rights.

At Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas, many of us are former brokers who worked in the brokerage industry, often in senior positions, for years. We left because we saw a lot of behaviors that we knew were hurting investors and causing them to lose money.

It is why we do what we do now, fighting for clients like you.

Quite honestly, whether an investor wins or loses their arbitration case will depend on a number of factors, such as the quality of the claim, the severity of the alleged broker fraud, the nature of the damages, the arbitrators who end up on the panel that hears your claim, and the experience of both sides’ legal counsel. Our stockbroker fraud lawyers have been exclusively representing investors for over 30 years.
