SSEK Law Firm Representing GWG L Bond Investors Against These Broker-Dealers
GWG Holdings, Inc. sold $1.6B of L bonds to investors through more than 140 regional brokerage firms, including managing broker-dealer Emerson Equity. These financial firms earned high commissions and other fees from selling these risky life settlement-backed bonds to customers.
Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (SSEK Law Firm at investorlawyers.com) represent many of these investors against the firms and registered representatives that unsuitably recommended and sold these junk bonds to them. Many L bondholders are retail customers, including retirees, who should have never invested in these private placement-like products.
L bond investors are alleging they were never suitably apprised of the risks involved or updated about GWG’s ongoing financial troubles. Visit GWG Holdings, Inc. and GWG Holdings L Bonds for more information.
Many GWG L bond investors suffered losses in the six and seven figures.

Western International SecuritiesA Texas retiree is pursuing up to $500K damages after Western International Securities broker Shomir Mukherjee in Los Angeles allegedly sold L bonds and non-traded REITs to him.
As you can see above, many of these stockbrokers also worked locally with an investment advisory firm. It may have been through the latter that an investor knew their financial advisor. Regardless, it’s because the financial professional was registered with a broker-dealer that they were licensed to sell GWG L bonds to customers.
These brokerage firms can and should be held liable for investors’ losses through Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration. This is not the kind of claim that you want to pursue without experienced legal professionals representing you.
This is a growing list of cases that we will continue to update as SSEK Law Firm files more claims for L bond investors against their broker-dealers.
