STOCK FRAUD

Not all investment loss results from misconduct by investment professionals.  However, when an investor's losses result from unsuitable recommendations, fraud, misrepresentations, excessive trading, unauthorized trades, failure to follow instructions, or other misbehavior by a stockbroker, rather than market downturns, or poor choices of investments by an investor, it is often worth pursuing a claim against the broker or other financial advisors.

The quickest way to determine whether you may have a claim is to talk to a lawyer who is experienced in representing investors.  All too often, individuals with legitimate claims fail to recover their money simply because they incorrectly decide, without qualified professional advice, that their losses are due to their own fault or that their claims will fail for one reason or another.

It is very difficult for an individual to determine if they have a case.  Our participating attorneys are qualified to answer your questions.  They are prepared to offer you a free consultation to help you determine whether you may have a claim worth pursuing.  After  you talk to them, you can decide whether to take your losses, to bring your own claim without help, or to engage them to represent you.

If you do choose to speak to one our participating lawyers, they will be looking for the following important issues:

• Was there some recognized kind of misconduct?
• Did that misconduct cause an economic loss?
• How much money can you hope to recover?
• How good is your proof of both the misconduct and the loss?
• Do you have a choice between court and arbitration?
• How much will it cost to pursue your claim?
• How likely is it that your claims are barred by time limits?
• Will you be able to collect any award or judgment that you may get?

Typically, if your loss resulted from any of the following forms of misconduct, you most likely have a claim that may be worth pursuing:

• Unsuitable recommendations
• Unauthorized trades
• Lying
• Cheating
• Stealing
• Excessive trading (known as "churning")
• Failure to follow instructions

If you believe that you have been defrauded by a brokerage firm or one of its brokers, NASD wants to know about it immediately. Often, violations of their rules and the federal securities laws come to light through the receipt and investigation of customer complaints. 

A customer complaint may be filed by a customer, or person acting on behalf of a customer, who feels he/she has been subjected to improper business practices involving his/her broker or brokerage firm.  By submitting your case for a fair evaluation through one of our participating attorneys, you will have an expert opinion who will let you know if you might be entitled to some financial remuneration.  This service is completely free and without obligation.  If you decide to move forward if our participating attorneys informs you that you have a case, you may select to use them and will only be required to pay them, if they recover some or all of your loss.
