We Recover Losses
A sample of the results our attorneys have secured for individual investors. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
Arbitration awarded $2.6 million against two major brokerage firms on behalf of an elderly woman whose account was seriously mishandled. The investor recovered all of her losses, and the settlement covered her attorney's fees as well.
A unanimous award of $1,403,500 was awarded against Royal Alliance Associates on behalf of a group of three California retired AT&T employees who were defrauded after being encouraged to accept a lump sum retirement package.
A settlement of $1,341,280 was awarded to a Texas investor against Oppenheimer after two Oppenheimer brokers excessively traded the investor’s brokerage account. The award included recovery of interest as well as attorneys’ fees.
A unanimous award against a broker who recommended investors entrust their funds in the Madoff Ponzi scheme — one of the only successful cases against associates of Bernard Madoff.
A unanimous award for a retired Colorado couple sold private, non-traded REITs, including market-adjusted damages, prejudgment interest, attorneys’ fees and costs.
A settlement for a group of Ohio retirees invested in high-risk securities that were unsuitable given their retirement status and need for conservative income.
A unanimous award for a customer whose account had been excessively traded to generate commissions — compensatory plus double punitive damages, interest, and attorneys’ fees.
An award following breach of fiduciary duty, common law fraud, negligence, and misrepresentation — compensatory and punitive damages plus attorney fees.

Investment firms and their advisors should protect your funds, not put them at risk. If your broker failed to act in your best interest, causing financial loss, our securities fraud attorneys can help. We boast decades of experience holding negligent brokers accountable for breaching their fiduciary duty.
Learn MoreAlternative Investments
Did a promise of high returns mislead you? Alternative investments like non-traded REITs, non-traded BDCs, private placements, and promissory notes carry risk. Unlike stocks and bonds, these investment vehicles lack regulatory oversight, increasing the likelihood of mismanagement. If this scenario sounds familiar, we’ll help you recoup your losses.
Learn MoreAnnuity & Insurance Fraud
While annuities and life insurance can be valuable retirement tools, advisors often misrepresent them as investments. As a result, they’re not suitable for everyone. If you’ve suffered financial losses due to annuity or insurance fraud, we have your back. Schedule a free consultation to discuss your legal options.
